Wanna know how much fun Drew had at his party?
Captured by a sweet friend, his face says it all.
The kids absolutely loved playing with the ball pit, toddler roller coasters, bounce houses and slides, but the best part was the cake and ice cream.
To me, toddler birthday parties aren't about making it on the pinterest boards. I'm not sure I'll ever have a matchy matchy party with tons of beautiful decor and the most amazing food choices and labels, and that's ok. This year we rented out an indoor play place, bought a cake and some ice cream, got some balloons and had a friggin' blast. The red faces, constant smiles and excitement from Drew and his 10 friends were all we had hoped for. Toddler happiness... that's all that matters.
We picked Drew up at the end of the night to snap a shot of the 3 of us and the result melts my heart. How he voluntarily put his arms around us and squeezed tightly on top of giving a huge smile reassured me that he had a great time. It was his way of telling me that it was exactly what he wanted.
Thanks to Mimi and Grandpa for contributing to the cost of the party and thanks to our friends for making it a memorable birthday for Drew!
What a great party! Drew looks like he's in heaven. I'm glad you guys had a great time!
ReplyDeleteYou can just tell by his big smile that he loved it! I have a lot friends that use an indoor play area up there and the kids just love it! I might need to start having Xavier's parties back home! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great party! That picture of all 3 of you is definitely frame worthy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time was had by all! The pure joy and happiness on his face is heart wrenching!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a blast, after having two bday parties at home I think from now on we're going to rent out places similar to this just to make things easier, plus I think it will be more fun for the kids anyway.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a winner of a party, pinterest be damned! His face definitely says it all. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously? That last picture? Drew has the look on his face that he is the luckiest little three year old on the planet.
