Philip's 3rd Birthday Party

Philip's 3rd Birthday was held over the weekend at our house.

This waterslide was the main attraction!

We had plenty of other water toys to cool off in the August heat! We had a scare that it might rain, but the morning turned out beautiful!

We had several of Philip's friends over to celebrate.

Everyone quickly hit the water.

And the drinks to cool off.

The slip and slide was a little tricky for Philip and his friends...

No one could slide without a big push.

After some hard playing, Dad grilled some hot dogs for lunch.

They were quickly gobbled up by the kids and the parents.

Then it was time for some cake!

As Philip had requested, there was fire on his cake.

We sang and blew out the candles.

Waiting on the cake!!

This was the only time the kids stopped moving during the party!

Yummy! I think Philip has talked about his birthday cake for weeks now. He was so excited to finally have some!

Wrinkled cake hands. What a party!

Philip had a wonderful day. We are lucky to have sweet friends and neighbors to celebrate Philip's birthday with us. Philip asked several times during the day "Am I three now?" We tried to explain that his real birthday would be on Tuesday, and that we were just having his party over the weekend. So, he would not be three until Tuesday. His response - "But I had my cake" Apparently, in a three year old's mind, the cake signifies the birthday. Logical, right?
