{Not So} Wordless Wednesday: Shane’s 3rd Birthday!

By 38 Comments

Since we spent the whole weekend in San Diego for Shane’s birthday, we decided not to do a real party. Instead we just spent the day hanging out, playing with presents & eating cake. My mom & brother stopped by for a bit & Justin’s mom came by after work {his dad was out of town for work} too so that was fun.

Birthday Hat
{Please kindly ignore the mess! I didn’t want to waste his birthday cleaning.}

So on Friday night, when we were going to bed to get ready to wake up early on Saturday to travel, Shane asked if he was going to get to wear a birthday hat on his birthday. I hadn’t picked any up {we’ve never worn them for anyone else’s birthday or any of his previous ones} & we were headed out of town so I panicked a bit because I didn’t want to let him down. Luckily Daddy went out Monday morning to get some & saved the day!

Despite deciding to give him a vacation as a birthday present, I still had to get him a few things…

opening presents

He’s becoming a pro at unwrapping! Maybe this Christmas it won’t take three hours to open presents!

I was pretty proud of this- I found wrapping paper that matches my site. I did that on accident, too- I just really love lime green & chevron. &Shane’s favorite color is green so I had to get it.

Playing with cars

One thing he got was a set of the new Toy Story wheelies from Little People & I kept catching him all over the house laying down playing with them. He loves them! {Not a review}

Lighting Birthday Candles

Finally, it was time for cake!

Blowing Out Candles

He was so excited to blow out his candles!

green cake

I asked Shane what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday & asked if he wanted Thomas or Toy Story. His response? “Green.” You got it, dude. {It was vanilla with vanilla frosting & all kinds of green decorations clumsily added.}

We were all a bit tired from our vacation but we still had a great day & enjoyed it with our big three year old!

  9. I love, love, love the green cake! Great job! (And of course you gotta have the extra candle) When Kali was turning 5 she did something similar and asked for a yellow birthday. I recall decorating my house with sunflowers. and daffodils, fake of course seeing as her b-day is in January. 🙂

  11. Those are great – and don’t you love how, as a blogger, you have to add a disclaimer for everything! I love that you made him a green cake and got him hats – birthdays are so special in our house, too…I love making the kids feel like they’re super special on their birthdays.

    • Right?! I’m always afraid that people will think that I’m actually leaving a disclaimer off intentionally so I even put one when there’s none to be had. lol

  14. It looks like Shane had a great day and what an awesome daddy to run out and grab party hats! My girls love Toy Story too so I might have to look into those Little People cars you mentioned.
