Derrick turns 3!

 
Both my boys have January Birthdays. This is a recap of Derrick's third birthday:
Look he is showing you he is 3!
We had a family party, then a friend one. He got fun presents, and had a great time, and is so glad he is three now. The next morning he woke me up saying that he should be able to crack eggs for breakfast because he is big now. hmmm great!
He picked his cake at Costco for the family birthday party
Blowing out the candles!


We had some great party guests! Ryker!

Adley
Lexi!

Dillan

Nana

Betsy and Glen

Papa

We ate yummy cake, pizza, salad, etc!

Daddy saying "Three"!


Derrick's favorite present was his big pirate ship!

It did not come assembled, and it was excruciating waiting for dad to put it together.

All done, such a happy boy!

 
After his family party, about a week later, we threw his friend party. He chose a Dora themed party. So we went with the theme and had a great time. We served Dora yogurt, bananas for boots, and animal shaped waffles. We also had various beverages, then cake pops for the dessert. They were Dora themed, my great friend Nathalie made them. We started by eating breakfast, then the kids all gathered round, and we presented them with a backpack and map. We had created a balloon tunnel down the stairs, and a duck pond in one room, and a bowling alley in the other. They had to find the hidden treasure. We played the Dora theme song, the Map, and Backpack in the right places, and sent the kids on an adventure. They had to read to the grumpy old troll to get down the balloon tunnel, find the missing ducks to cross the pond, and bowl down the pins to find the hidden treasure (the party favor bags). It was great fun.
