Griffin Turns 3!

We had Griffin's 3rd Birthday Party a few weeks ago. Our little man is an animal lover, so he chose a zoo them for his party. Once again, Gammy Becky delivered in a major way! The decorations were amazing!! And she spent the two weeks prior in Europe. She is a pretty incredible party planner. 

 

Gammy Becky had the idea to do a "photo booth" area for the kids. It ended up being too fun. They were hilarious.

We had a craft table with some coloring sheets of animals and foam animal stickers. Kids loved it. So easy and kept them busy!

Gammy also brought some animal games for them to play!

I adore getting to see Griffin interact with his little friends at parties now. It is the sweetest, most chaotic and hilarious time!

Griffin's only living great-grandparent, Nanny Martha made it up for the party!

We just sat him on a table to open his presents, so everyone could see.

If you see Griffin regularly, you have probably noticed that the boy LOVES pockets and walks and stands around with his hands in his pockets. Its precious I tell you!

I cannot believe the kid is already three! To revisit Griffin's other birthday parties (and see what a great job Gammy Becky did at those) you can click here (One) and here (Two).

Griffin's Elmo Extravaganza

We had Griffin's 2nd Birthday party a few weeks ago, and it was such a blast!! We chose Elmo as the theme, because our boy absolutely loves him some Elmo. Gammy Becky really outdid herself (with the help of Gary and Cameron) on the decorations, and made this party look like it came straight off of pinterest! We ended up moving the party to our church a few days before due to weather, and I am so glad we did. Here are the details:

The food area

 Garebear made the street sign! 

 Cupcake cakes were from Sam's. 

 Seriously, look how amazing! They made these from scratch. 

 Got to use our church's bounce house and it was a huge hit. 

 Gammy Becky made a cookie toss! So fun and cute!

 Oscar's tattoo parlor. 

 Favor Bags. I am not a believer in favor bags really, bc I just think my kid doesnt have to leave your party with a gift you know? But Becky saw these online and wanted to make them too, so she got all the stuff to put in them! haha! They turned out awesome!!! 

I made the Elmo visors. It was the one thing I saw on Pinterest and figured I could do. lol

 How cute is that shirt??!!! Mama Susan had it made for him. Isnt she sweet?

 He loved people singing to him. 

 Some of the "little" guests that came to celebrate with us. 

Cant believe my baby is 2. We are so blessed with friends and family that love and support us, and spoil us rotten! Now I just have to go find a place for all that stuff....
