Party like a 3 year old

This afternoon, we got to celebrate our friend Noah's 3rd birthday. It's so much fun to watch 3 year olds play. The kids had fun playing in the pool, jumping in bounce house, playing on the swingset and bumming wagon rides from anyone who would pull them. Present time was a huge hit - all the kids were interested in Noah's loot. The parents also got to catch up during the party - it was great to see some friends we haven't seen in a while. Of course, I took lots of pictures!

be still my heart, my cute little boy

Birthday boy Noah and Eli jumping - I got LOTS of pictures of them, they were together almost the entire party. Eli loves his buddy.

Toddler table - Eli actually moved TABLES to sit next to Stella Dot.

Cole and Daddy stole a few minutes in the bounce house before the "big kids" came back.

This cracked me up. Noah getting his Granddad wet.

The cool "big kids" - Eli, Maddie, Elizabeth, Stella Dot and Noah. I think Liam was missing from this shot.

I told you, two peas! Bumming a wagon ride from Noah's mom.

Cole hanging in the pool with Jacob, Elizabeth's brother.

This was probably the funniest thing of the entire party. The kids got rowdy in the bounce house and hit the wall opposite the blower so it disconnected the tube to the bounce house, deflating it. You can see arms and legs at the yellow piece coming down. The kids were screaming and didn't know what happened.

Jump on in, there's PLENTY of room.

The audience kept getting closer and closer.....

until Ms. Robin had to play a game to get them back in their spots.

Cole was all partied out and took a nap on Daddy.

Lightning McQueen birthday cake. Everyone, including Eli, tried to help Noah blow out his candles.

Eli had to take his shirt off simply because Noah had his off.

Yummy cake, messy hands.
