this boy.
he holds my heart in those little 3 year old hands.
Happy birthday, Bugs.
We love you forever, my baby you'll be. 

Katie & I went early to decorate. I couldn't have pulled off the party without my sweet friend's help!! 

Landon didn't want to nap in his car seat and I had so much to do...so into the a Ergo carrier he went. There was so much going on that he didn't sleep! (The Ergo usually puts him right to sleep.) So, here I am hanging streamers and balloons with a sweet little baby snuggled close. 

My sweet friend, Katie, and I taking a break from party planning and giving the cardboard cars I made (thanks Pinterest!!) a test run.  

Colton, Beckett, Hudson racing their cars around the "track".  Colton wasn't feeling it so much... 

There's our birthday boy racing! He had practiced racing all over the house the night before his party, only to be super shy at the beginning of the race with his friends.

"Thank you for my presents. Thank you for coming to my party. Can we have ice ceem now?"

Happy birthday to Colton Dean!
We had ice cream, cuz that's what birthdays are all about according to this cutie. 

Colton's pit crew:
Brooks, Beckett, Hudson, Hannah, Colton, Corbin
(baby brother Landon was sleeping)

family.
Landon is 6 months. Colton is 3. 

He was so excited to open his presents! 

We had a Lego area for the kids to enjoy when they came in. 

What party is complete without balloons?? 

...and it's not a party unless the birthday boy cries. :(
No nap the day before. No nap today. Makes for a rough time. 

We are so blessed!!
Family and friends came to celebrate our son's 3rd birthday.

After the party we ate dinner at Drew & Briana's. One of our first visits to their house after we moved home had Drew "drawing" a soul patch like his on Colton's chin. Drew bought a pack of these fake mustaches and Colton chose these. Hysterical!!
