It's My Diego Birthday!


We invited several of Ian's daycare pals over to celebrate his birthday Diego-style. Of course, it was questionable whether Ian actually make it to his own party after a very dramatic visit to pick up supplies at the store earlier in the morning. Turning three has brought a whole new meaning to the word drama. But we all survived the turbulence and had a cute party.

The pictures are a bit out of order, but we set out the little pool and a sprinkler ring to play in. They also enjoyed the swingset. We moved on to pizza and then it became a free for all of present opening. Ian could not wait a second longer to open presents and he had some assistance from all the boys. He got a Doodlepad, Aquadoodle foam mat, Diego toys and some books and a scooter.

We tried to get a picture of all the kids before they left. One of the little ones wasn't interested in pictures, so we're down one guest. Ian had on his new Diego shirt, which I hate to say, he is still wearing this morning (Sunday).

My friend Cindy got Ian a scooter, which he enjoys. She got it because whenever Ian is over at her house, there is a big fight over the scooter. Smart thinking to have two to calm toddler nerves. Of course, this picture was taken well after the party festivities were over.

I picked up a $7 sprinkler ring and the boys loved it. Ian kept coming over and saying "It rained on me!" and Connor just stood in it, holding his little pirate.


























And this is the incredible Diego cake that my friend Cindy made. She came over on Friday evening and put it all together. The rescue center is a pound cake with graham cracker stick shingles and she added green leaves around the palm trees. She took a bunch of the kids Diego figurines to add on the cake. It was so fun and quite yummy!

Adios, amigos!
