Caleb is 3!



So....now that Caleb has been 3 for almost 4 months...I finally found some time to blog about it. Cut me some slack...it's summer.  ;)


It's crazy hard to believe that my little baby is now 3 years old. These past 3 years have seriously flown by. Caleb brings such joy to our lives. We are so so grateful.

My love of themed party planning this year brought me to.....CURIOUS GEORGE!

All of my boys LOVE Curious George.. It's one of the few shows they all can sit and watch nice together. So, when one of our local little party dollar stores was going out of business and had Curious George plates and napkins on mega sale, I snatched them up and bam...I had a theme planned in January. ;)

Fast forward to mid-April and I realize Caleb's birthday is a few weeks away. Yikes! Time to plan! Why does it always sneak up so darn fast?

So just some quick ideas were thrown together mostly with things I already had for party supplies, other random Curious George books and things we already had around the house, and some work on Print Shop.

One of my favorite parts is creating the invitation. This one may be one of my all time favorites:





Party Table



I lucked out and remembered there are "Curious George" fruit snacks so got those as a party favor.


Beautiful cake made by Anna Minutillo. She never disappoints! 
It was sooo pretty! Love the simple bright primary colors. 
And of course it tasted AMAZING!



We had the Curious George lunch box and I used a $1 black easel from the Dollar Tree to display a book we also already had. In the red bowl is dried bananas which no one was a fan of. ;)


I wrote Caleb's name on a cute little banner I bought on clearance.

And the Birthday chalkboard was a $3 Target find that we can use over and over again!


Monkey Juice!

I purchased this drink jar a few years ago for around $20 and wow, 
we've used it so many times for parties. Definitely worth it!


As I mentioned before, the clearance birthday plates and napkins that made me pick the George theme!



Took all our Curious George books and made a little reading nook for guests!



"Snuggle Up and Read A Book!"


We had a triple birthday party with Caleb's cousins, Ava and Cora. 
They all have birthdays within 12 days of each other.

Here's the gift table:



So grateful it was a gorgeous day and we could all be outside!


I googled "Curious George free printables" and found some word finds, coloring sheets etc. to set out for kids to work on.


The May birthday kiddos!


Opening gifts!


Look what big brother, Eli, made for Caleb. So sweet...


Love this sassy birthday girl!


Cake overload!

Happy 13th Birthday Ava!
