Happy 3rd Birthday Nicholas!

This year was the first time we hosted a kids party for Nicholas' birthday. The weather didn't end up being very nice but Nicholas still had a blast with a traveling baby petting zoo set up in the garage and bouncy houses in the backyard. The petting zoo was a huge hit with the kids with baby ducks, baby chicks, baby bunnies, baby goats, a baby sheep and even a baby pot belly pig! Nicholas chose a shark themed party and it was a great choice! We had shark cupcakes for the kids party and then a shark cake for the family party afterwards. Hosting two parties in one day was very tiring! We were fortunate enough to have a photographer come for the kids party so we could really enjoy the event without having to worry about capturing all the excitement. SO worth it when it only cost us a trade of old clothes and toys the boys have grown out of. On Nicholas' actual birthday, we took the morning off from work and took him to the ecotarium. After experiencing our first three year old tantrum, Nicholas got to spend the rest of the day at work with Dad and just went into daycare to share cupcakes with his friends before heading home for cake and his favorite dinner - chicken nuggets and french fries :)
