Party Time....


We hosted a little backyard party for Harrison this afternoon, he'll be 4 on Sunday. Tadd kindly took the day off work, and Harrison had his friends over for some fun. And let me tell you, fun was had!
The cake... Instead of getting a $50 bakery cake shaped like a dump truck, I bought him a real dump truck, then filled it with chocolate trifle, covered it with Oreo crumbs, and put worms in it. It really looked like dirt and now Harrison has a new dump truck to play with.

4 year olds can light their own candles, thank you very much.

Everyone line up for the pinata... poor spongebob doesn't have a chance.

Harrison gives it his best shot.

Maya too....

After everyone had (many) turns, it's time to just pull the string already and get this over with.

Spongebob put up a fair fight, Tadd had to rip the pinata open and let the candy fly.

A sweet sibling moment (they do happen sometimes!)


Time for swimming....

And water balloons....

After the party was over, Harrison made a point to say thank you for the party and the "delicious cake"
(what a boy!)

And even a thank you. You've taught him well... looks like fun, and the cake was genius.

That is a great picture of Harrison and I love your clever idea of filling the toy dump truck with treats.

What a handsome boy! Love the dumptruck cake idea, with three little boys I will definately be using that one sooner or later!

Cute pics! I loved that cake, I was wondering why I was salivating at the sight of a truck!
