It's party time!

Dakota turned three on the twelfth of September. We decided that this year we would try to have a gathering at our place the following Saturday. So, with a lot of stress about the theme we came up with Phineas and Ferb, Dakota's new favorite cartoon. Dakota talked about having his party all week and friends coming over. It was real cute to hear him get so excited for his party. He would ask every morning about his cake and I would have to tell him how many more sleeps. The morning of his party he was so excited his little face was beaming. He kept saying, "today. friends. party". 

The party people all hanging out. It was a beautiful day to have a party. Couldn't have asked for a more breezy sunny day.

 Dakota and his new friend, Jaiden. The boys all had a blast in Dakota's truck. They were driving that all over the yard. His truck was the main toy all the kids loved. He shared his truck and didn't get upset at all when he wasn't able to drive it. I am so proud of him. He definitely has a great personality. Love him to death. :)

 Playing one of the games. The kids had to wrap each other up like a mommy and run. Dakota was the last to get wrapped. He stood so still and let Jaiden wrap him up. These two were so cute. Even though this was the only game the kids played it was cute to watch.

 One of the presents Dakota received. Him and Ryder checking it out. It is a Vtech computer. Hopefully now he will use this one instead of my laptop. Hopefully.

 The birthday cake. Phineas and Ferb. It was marble cake with butter icing and it was so yummy!

 Justin actually smiling, but Halle making the funny faces. First picture I got with Justin lookin nice. I love these two so much.

 Pretty Hayden. Such a cute little girl. So happy all the time. Love this little girl!

Kyan decided to climb into his walker all by himself. Even though he is backwards. So proud of himself!!

The party was a success. Even though we didn't play all the games I had planned, just having people over to help us celebrate Dakota's birthday was all we wanted. Now that we know we can do this, we think we will try again next year. Dakota is still talking about his friends and his party. To see the joy and smiles light up his face is the best feeling a mommy could have. I love being a mommy!
