Party Time!

Because we like to play with our friends, and we have three birthdays in December, we decided to let Taylor invite some friends to come sledding in celebration of him turning three.  BEST birthday party idea, EVER!  I didn't have to worry about how many people couldn't fit in our apartment...

He throughly enjoyed handing these donut cutouts to his little friends, and they were super easy to make.  The hardest part was the wording!  

And for the record, we. had. a. blast!!!

Despite the fact that it was faaaaReezing!  Tanner was a sledding maniac, and Taylor and I doubled up every time...  Kortlen stayed warm and snug at my friend's house... and Ryan had to work (so sad, considering we actually did this on HIS birthday, not Taylor's.)


We had donuts and hot chocolate (that I burned!) but it was piping hot...at least Sara and I enjoyed it.  :)  I think next time I'll just do cookies...less sticky, and not so big.  

The best part was not having to deal with gifts.  I hope that the guests liked that part, too.  It meant that I didn't have to worry about wrapping paper, jealousy between brothers, or broken toys in two months.  Heaven!  

I am pretty sure we'll be doing a birthday party like this every year...but probably combining BOTH boys' birthdays.

I love that idea!! Winter Birthdays are hard, especially if you don't have a big living space(which I don't) I think I may be stealing your idea for Parkers Birthday next year!!

That's a great idea. This baby is the only winter birthday we have on the family so it's been swimming parties for the other boys which works great too since it's not at MY house!
