party at the park.

Yesterday we got to celebrate our favorite 3 year old and it was the perfect party. After having 2 December babies I am loving this summer birthday to have more options for parties outside. The weather is still a bit unpredictable this time of year but we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. Temps in the mid 70s, a park full of sun and shade and lots of friends to run and play with. 

 Even better - I hardly had to do anything to prepare! Costco provided all the food, cake and drinks, the kids ran and played and us parents chatted. Easy!

 Carter was so helpful in setting everything up with me. The park had 3 or 4 other parties going on at the same time but he grabbed the last 2 picnic tables in the shade and set up the food. Love him and his willingness to help me.

 So many special friends and family came to celebrate. We truly love these people and their friendships.

 The big kids had fun too!

 A chocolate sports cake...his absolute favorite!

 These mom friends of mine are incredible. They just jumped right in to help when I needed it and really love our kids. I am so, so grateful for them.

 Fun gifts, great friends, good food, and a perfect 3rd birthday. Happiest Birthday Simon!!
