Bennett's 3rd Birthday {Part 3}

So this was a super long time ago but I still wanted to blog it 'cause it was so much fun!

This party has been in the works for well over a year since we were invited to one last year and realized just how good of a deal it was and how easy it was! Sky High Party Zone is rad and I would totally recommend it to anyone wanting a great party for not a lot of money!

Showing me his best buds while his hair was still combed just before leaving for the party!

While waiting to go into the main room there was some Kung Fu Panda action going on!

His BFF "Liese"

Once inside there was so much to play with!

The giant slide was very, very popular!


I loved seeing the battles going on!
Parents vs. Kids and even Husband vs. Wife!


Lots of Bennett's friends are getting new brothers and sisters just like he recently did ... so there was also plenty of cuddling to be had in between jumping and playing!

After our hour of play time (more than enough time if you ask me!) we all put our shoes back on, took our squirt of hand sanitizer and headed into the party room! 


We sang.

He tried to blow out the candles.


He tried again while flying like Buzz Lightyear.

Everyone ate whole-wheat carrot cake "cupcakes"

There were awesome presents

Bennett handed out goody bags and we all headed to the car.


And so an hour and half after it started ... that was it ... Bennett's 3rd birthday had officially come to an end! 

That was until he invited his Grammy over to play with is new toys and then found some more friends to play with at our house... ha ha! This birthday is never going to end!

Okay, it's really over, I promise ... Bennett's 3rd birthday was a full month of fun ... just like every birthday should be!

Missed part one or part two?

Bennett's 3rd Birthday {Part 2}

Part two of celebrating Bennett's 3rd year was on his actual birthday ... the 22nd of February.

We had quite the day!

Once Bennett decided on what he wanted for lunch {Hambergers, french fries and ketchup - his words, not mine} we were off to In-n-Out and then to Adam's work so eat lunch with Daddy!

After lunch John-Paul fell asleep on the way home so Bennett and I had some alone time for building trains and watching Chuggington before it was nap time.

For dinner Bennett picked his favorite foods - Salad, Ice cream and blueberries {No joke, he would eat salad at every meal if we let him!} so we prepared a salad bar complete with everything one would need for either a cobb or a chinese chicken salad ... it seemed to be a big hit will all the party attendees!
 

After dinner was presents ... the best part of any birthday party of course!
Here he is with the "inside" presents!

Once the inside presents were done we all had to take a trip down stairs for the last two gifts of wonder! It was absolute 3 year old wonderland ... a sand box and bike!

While dessert was being served Bennett got in some good play time with his new toys ...
{Yes, the above picture is Darth Vader and  Luke Skywalker hugging ... Bennett has learned from Adam that they are father and son, thus they must hug each other - right?! Right!}
the droids were put in charge of driving the pirate ship
Happy Birthday was sung only once this year and a good time was had by all ... especially Mr. Happy himself, John-Paul!


We remembered to take pictures of Bennett with most of his guests for the evening ... but sadly not all of them! 

If you can believe it, there really is one more celebration ... stay tuned for part 3
