Nathan had his third birthday on March 17th. We decided to have his birthday party on the 21st, but still wanted to do something special on his birthday. The whole family got new St. Patrick's Day shirts (sorry didn't think to get any pics) and for dinner I made Nathan's favorites hotdogs and mac and cheese(homemade too!). And my mom who was down for the week made up some green jello with fruit for some green with the meal. Nathan didn't eat much of it, but it was still a fun meal to celebrate Nathan's special day. We sang Happy Birthday to him and gave him some birthday spanks...twice. (He wanted more after the first set, go figure). Silly kid.

For Nathan's birthday party last Saturday I decided to do a dinosaur theme, which Nathan was VERY excited about. He would tell everyone about it if you asked him about his birthday.
I found instructions for a really cute, really easy dinosaur cake that used 2-9 inch cakes, and frosting and chocolate for the decorations. Here's how it turned out.
I then found instructions on taking regular helium balloons and a little paint and turn them into dinosaur faces.I was even able to find some cute little windup dinosaurs.
We did some coloring.
And opened some presents.Audrey even had fun with the wrapping paper.Nathan got some fun dinosaur stuff.Audrey watching the fun.When we got to cake time and singing Happy Birthday to Nathan he got a little shy.But he knows what to do with the candles. Here he is blowing them out.
Nathan had a great birthday party and lots of fun with his family and friends.
Thanks to everyone who came and gave Nathan gifts.

P.S. I made this cute towel for Nathan's birthday, but he wouldn't model it for me that day, on his next bath he was much more willing.
...and another project is complete!
