Monster Birthday Party

E turned 3 and we celebrated in style...

For months, E had been talking about having a MONSTER themed birthday party, so I went on the hunt for the perfect cake.  I googled "monster cakes" and I got a lot of hits.  Some were do able, some not so much.  Here is the final result...

The cupcakes were some of my favorite.  They were such cute and friendly monsters.

Here comes the birthday boy on his 4-wheeler pulling a wagon and ready to give his cousin's rides.

 

Seeing Uncle Jon for the first time this visit.

A monster pinata.  It took a LONG time

 to break open, you would of thought that it was metal lined.

Opening presents, such a lucky boy.

 

Blowing out the candles. 

E loves to sing himself 'Happy Birthday' and today was no exception. 

His Grandma Rita got him interested in this game.  Last summer, when we picked them up from the airport, there was a big storm and there was no power at their house when we dropped them off.  We ate pizza by candlelight and then Grandma began singing Happy Birthday and letting E blow out the candle.  It kept him entertained in the dark for at least 10 minutes.  Now he can sing Happy Birthday very well and blow out the candles without too much spit on the cake.
