Preston's 3!!!!

I'll be doing an official 3 yr old post for Preston later but here are pictures from his birthday party.
We had a friend party for him this year. His first one ever! I'm thinking maybe we will do those only every other year or something.... Lots of work/stress/planning/$$!
But he had fun and thats what matters. 

He was so excited to help me out with ANY part of the party.
We made a "Happy Birthday Preston" banner and he did all the gluing. Well.. some of it anyways. 

He went with me to go search for a pinata. Note to self, do NOT leave this till a few days before the party or you will be going from store to store looking for one. 

Jaxton helped by making sure I cleaned everything up. 

The day before his party the stuff was starting to take over the kitchen!
Oh, see all those monster trucks on the sink? Instead of doing goody bags I bought Monster trucks from the dollar store for all the kids and then attached a balloon to each one. 

Again, Jaxton helped by looking cute. 

Instead of putting candy in the pinata we did caramel popcorn. Seemed like a good/delicious way to save some money, but then wasn't such a good idea when the pinata was being pummeled by a bat. 

(fyi the pinata only took 1 bowl of popcorn, the red one, and when Patrick got home only the yellow bowl was left...that blue bowl just magically disappeared...)

Cupcakes!!! 

Decorations.

 Presents!!!!

This was the walkway up to the house. As long as the wind didn't blow it looked great.
Did I mention that the high that day was like 48 degrees?!?! So much for 16 kids playing outside for his party.... 

The whole view. 

We had subs (Krazy Sub!), chips, pudding cups, and were suppose to have pickles but I forgot to take them out of the fridge...

The birthday boy at his Monster Truck party!! 

The cupcakes were delicious.
Don't believe me ask Jaxton. 

And then after everyone left we gave him his present.
Yes. He is spoiled.
But he also happens to have a birthday that fits in nicely with after Christmas clearance deals. 

Yep. Preston got a Mercedes before any of us.
And its probably the only Mercedes we will ever buy him! 

 The next day on his actual birthday we had a family party for him which was a lot of fun & I took no pictures of... but he was shown lots of love.
I feel like Preston has been 3 forever already, but now it's official!
