Collin's 3rd Birthday!

Collin is 3!  3!  Where does the time go?  My little guy is getting big too fast.  This year I wanted to save some money, so decided to do the party at our apt.  Now our apt isn't that big.  It works for us right now, but we can't have 25 people over.  Not gonna happen.  So I decided to split his birthday.  We did friend party on Saturday Dec 1st in the morning and family party Sunday Dec 2nd in the evening.

For friend party we had a monster theme.  We invited just a few friends.  I think the kids had fun.  First we had the kids put on their monster belly shirts and then decorate monster masks.

Making monster masks.  Greg laughed at the "hovering" moms.

After getting his monster gear on, Collin would roar at the camera every time!

We played feed the monster.

Then we played monster bowling.

Next we had a snack.

Opening presents!  He was way excited about his super heroes.

The next day was his actual birthday.  We had our families over for dinner and presents.  We had homemade cinnamon rolls, a sausage breakfast casserole and some fruit.  Collin was completely spoiled.  Here's some pictures:

Cousin Chandler helped Collin set up his train set!

Aunt Cassie's gift of the Toy Story truck that shoots pizzas was a huge hit!

Collin loves the whale from the Donks.

"A DS!!!"  He was way excited for a Nintendo DS.  And now Cousin Chase gets his back.
