Henry's 3rd Birthday {Tractor Party}

**This post is LONG overdue**. 

It was fun to celebrate with family Henry's 3rd birthday while we were in town for the holidays. It's always so busy at the holidays but we found time to have it on Friday night! It was definitely all hands on deck! We had the party at Kit's parents house and kept it simple with pizza, chips & "tractor juice".  Papaw piped "grass" on the cupcakes and  we set them inside the fence Kit and my dad built before the party out of popsicle sticks. My mom made the cupcakes in record time since I was tied up at the car lot. Most of the tractors and decor were actually borrowed from cousin Jaxson so we didn't have to bring toys, and, Aunt Kenlyn & Aunt Amy took pictures for us. Thank you to everyone!! This day was really hectic because this was the day we bought the Expedition. It was crazy! Kit is a pretty tough negotiator and let's just say I think we walked out the door twice before they called us back in and we officially signed the papers. We got there when they first opened because Kit & my Dad had already test drove it the day before. It was a long day haggling with car salesmen so needless to say, we were extremely rushed for the party. Lesson learned :/ but it was still a fun evening once we got the party set up (a little behind schedule). 

This was also the night we revealed baby #3 was indeed a BOY! We had an ultrasound at 16 weeks and found out the gender by ourselves. The doctor put the ultrasound pic in an envelope and we enjoyed going out to dinner and finding out together outside the doctor office, just the two of us! We went back and forth whether or not to announce or just keep the secret ourselves. We decided to not do a gender reveal party but instead just surprise everyone at H's party since most of the family was together in one room.

 To Henry, this night was a dream come true and that's all I cared about. He'd been talking about a tractor party for months and the fact we were rushed to throw the party together didn't matter to Henry. There were balloons, cupcakes & tractors. To him, it was the coolest party ever and with all the families together in one house, well, it was the ultimate bash. And that made this momma happy. that he was happy. 

The cupcake spread. I thought it turned out adorable!

 This picture cracks me up. Porter and his many faces! ;)
