Monroe is 3! Yeah! He was so excited for his birthday! We did tons of fun stuff to celebrate! Monroe was set on having a pirate party, so we did! It was so much fun! Thanks to everyone that came and celebrated with us!:) It's been so nice having Monroe's birthday around the 4th of July because we have always had family in town and it just makes everything better! Monroe LOVES his cousins!
We started the day off right with some Mickey Mouse pancakes! Monroe requested them!:) I love now that he is three and can express what he wants more! So now I just give him EVERYTHING he asks for! haha JK!:)
He loved them!:)
After breakfast we took him to that new toy store Blinkenstaffs (?sp?) and let him pick out what he wanted for his birthday.
Dawson & Mamo had a blast!
Thank you soooooo much to Lance & Natalie & his sweet cousins Monroe got just what he wanted!!!! His own plasma car!!! It is so cute to watch him ride it! He was a pro from the very beginning!:) Thanks again guys!!! It's his favorite!!!
NOW FOR THE PIRATE PARRRRRRRRRRRTY!:)
Monroe has been close to obsessed about pirates for a while now! He did almost switch it to a Spiderman party the week before, but I think he's glad he stuck to his original plan!:)
The Loot...
The Pirate!
Pirate 'pup'cakes... as Monroe calls them.
His pirate ship balloon that he & I:) just LOVED.
Sneaking a pupcake before the party started...
The Arizona Pirates that sailed in for the treasure hunt- Dawson, Peyton, & Tatum
Sword fight!!!
He ran around with his balloons the whole day!
The birthday boy, I-I, & Captian Collin!
This is as many of the little party pirates I could almost get in a picture together!:)
First round of singing "Happy Birthday"!
And then of course we had to sing it again!:) This was the most creatively uglyish birthday cake ever!:) Who knew you spell aaaarrrrrrrr? aargh? aarrrrgh? Awrr - or at least that's how they spelt it on the cake!!:)(obviously I am no great speller, but Awrr? hmmmm who knew?;))
After the breaking of the pinata!!! At least this year everyone got a chance to hit it! The pirate ship pinata was strong and lasted a few rounds!:)
High fives Carter & Cooper!!! Thanks again to everyone that came!
