Happy 3rd Birthday Owen!

Yesterday was a really fun day!  We celebrated Owen's third birthday with a construction party.  It's no secret that I love everything party planning and being able to plan special days for my little man makes it that much more fun! He's been obsessed with tools (remember the hammer that he carried around for months!?!) so I thought a tool/construction party would be right up his alley.  I started planning before Christmas because I wasn't up on all things construction quite yet! (Now I know all there is to know about diggers, tools, dirt and more!) It was a very fun party to put together and Owen and the kids had a great time.

Who knew?  Caution tape makes for a great construction party decoration!

 When Nana called in the morning to wish Owen a happy birthday, he told her that there was a man and a stick on the table.  He wasn't wrong!

 Napkin rings

 Construction cake

 When I asked him what his favorite part of the day was, he said the cupcakes and his friends playing with him.

 Home Depot aprons and tools for the kiddos at the party

 One of Owen's favorite foods is broccoli, but apparently not broccoli salad, "because it tastes too sugary."

 When Ronda arrived, he greeted her by saying, "WE HAVE FRUIT!"

  Tortilla chips and cheese dip = wood chips and yellow paint

 Orange Jello "building blocks"

 Chocolate tools and tool cookies

 Truck tires for all the construction vehicles at the party

 "Build" your own snack mix station

 Our beautiful Goddaughters Livia and Sophia

 Birthday boy and Uncle Bob

 No girlfriends!

 Candy, Candy, Candy!  Everyone scrambled to fill their bags!

 This was the first time that he was really into opening gifts.  He had lots of helpers, so maybe that helped speed it along!

 He was thrilled with his light up construction hat...in fact he's had it on all morning!

 A fun afternoon filled with lots of fun, family and friends!  Thank so much for coming everyone!

Owen thanked his guests for coming with buckets of tool cookies.  We worked really hard practicing, "Thank you for coming."  When he wasn't too busy running with his friends, he did pretty well remembering his manners!
