The Big Finale!

We finally finished celebrating John Reagan's birthday. I am a little late on the post and know you have been looking forward to the big finale! Since neither set of grandparents could make the big bash this year, John Reagan got to have friends come to his party for the first time. We went small though. We invited the children from Small Group who were close to his age. Only 2 were able to make it, and they were the 2 girls. I thought it was the funniest thing that little man got to celebrate his 3rd birthday with girls. One day soon, he will think that's just wrong and be saying, "Ugh, G-I-R-L-S!" which will quickly change to, "Oooohhh, GIRLS!" Oh Lord, help me now! John Reagan did ask specifically for one friend, but by that time it was too late. He had LOTS of fun though.
He wanted a "Cars" birthday this year. This was the first time he picked his own theme. As you can see, he is admiring the cake waiting for his friends to get here. We got the cake Friday evening. All night Friday and all morning Saturday he was running around screaming, "My friends are coming, my friends are coming. Let's have cake."
Blowing out the candles! He LOVES to blow out candles.



Evie checking everything and everyone out. Aunt Mary and Uncle Gordon took care of her.
The gang digging in! Hannah was too busy checking out "baby" and playing to eat her cake.
"Yum! This car sure does taste good." Abby is thinking John Reagan is a little silly. She told me that we could wash the icing off the bottom of the car in the sink. Too cute!
Helpers! What is up with the tongues? It must take a lot of work checking out presents.
Thank you Grandma Annie Rai for the John Deere!
John Reagan doesn't have a problem digging into presents.
Hannah wants to know what is in there.
Evie after her cake! I think she liked it. What do you think?
Playtime! I think John Reagan had as much fun watching the girls as he did playing with them.
Evie tuckered out. She couldn't hang on any longer.
I didn't put any pictures on here of the parents visiting because I didn't want to catch any flank from 2 certain women. You can thank me later...lol! We had lots of fun celebrating John Reagan's birthday this year. As with all kids, John Reagan loves birthdays. Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate whether it was Party #1, #2, or #3.
