Rafe turned 3!


We had a blast celebrating with this little (big) guy, and some cousins and friends at a construction themed birthday party.




The kids all looked so cute in their construction hats and aprons (thanks, Home Depot!) while they decorated little buckets and shovels.




My Mom made this fantastic cake because she is a cake-decorator extraordinaire.


The kids loved knocking down "buildings" with our "wrecking ball."










And digging in the sand for some treasures was fun (although it precipitated the only meltdown of the party - by Lydia).


We drew with chalk!



The Moms talked.




We didn't get great pictures of it, but Olive did a great job helping the kids with a traffic cones ring toss.











Cake, ice cream, and presents rounded out our party.


I really appreciate all the help I received from my entire family to pull off this fun party. We hope everyone enjoyed it!
