We had so much fun celebrating our little guy last night! We always feel so blessed as our house fills with those who love our children so much!
It's really hard to believe Mason is 3. REALLY hard to believe. I have a small pit in my stomach at the thought of having 2 preschoolers. Not babies, not toddlers. PRE-SCHOOLERS. If you ask me, that's not fair one bit. Time should NOT go this fast.
But at least it gives us a reason to party! And this house was full of purple pride all day yesterday! Starting with a K-State win over Mizzou, and ending with a house full of purple people, eating purple cake!
My parents are here for the weekend - it's always so fun to have them here for the kids' parties. We started the day off at Drubers, and then home to watch K-State play and get ready for a PARTAY!!!!
Here's a peak at his K-State party...
Game Day gift bags for the cousins who LOVE K-State too, so we know this stuff will be put to good use!
We had some face-painting...
and then the K-State fight song before opening presents...
We had him open up his present from Nana and Papa, and he had NO idea what was coming next!
We kept asking him what he was going to need a helmet for if he didn't have a bike, and he really wasn't sure.
Then Daddy came in from the garage with this...
I didn't catch it on camera, but his expression was precious!
I know it looks big. We were afraid it would be. With Taylor, we bought her the 12 inch bike, it was perfect size, but she is pretty much already grown out of it. So we felt like we didn't really get that much use out of it. And being a Princess bike, we couldn't pass it down to Mason. So this time around we went for the bigger bike. Even if it meant he had to grow into a bit, we have some time before summer gets here.
But to our surprise, he can do it!!
We had to pretty much BEG him to come in for cake and ice cream. He did NOT want to stop riding his bike. It was freezing cold and dark - but he rode in circles around the deck maybe 100 times. Then took a quick break to continue the celebration.
And then right back outside.
Plus some more hoops while not letting go of his balloon,
and a fun puzzle that he got from Nana and Papa.
And tomorrow he turns 3. We'll be spending the day doing a few extra special things with our favorite little guy!!

That is SUCH a good picture of him blowing out his candles. Way to go, mom!
Jobie was looking at this with me. At every picture he went: Boo, K-State!
Hahaha! At least some of us are raising our children right! :)
Looks like everyone had fun. They grow up too fast.
What a fun party - for EVERYONE! Enjoy him while you can. When he gets in school time will REALLY fly!
Happy 3rd Birthday to your sweet Mason! I LOVE his new bike and he's just so precious! Glad it all worked out so wonderfully.
Happy Birthday, Mason!! What a fun party. I LOVE the theme, of course! Are you going to have to have the same theme for the next 10 years?!?!
Great job, and enjoy your day with your 3-year old! I hope you're not as much as of an emotional basket-case as I was :)
What a fun party!! I doubt I will ever get to throw a K-State party for Dylan. It is all Jayhwak for him because of his daddy! How did Dave feel about the KSU party instead of OU??!!!
This looks like a perfect party for him! Loved the pictures. And I can't believe he is big enough to ride his bike! Go Mason!!
