Mr. Roboto

We had Jackson's robot themed 3rd birthday party at the municipal utility district building down the street from our house. We invited his whole class for the first time this year and I knew we would not be able to accommodate everyone at our house. The building was perfect with a huge indoor space, a kitchen, bathrooms, a playground, a fenced yard to run around in and room for a bouncy house. The best part - it cost $50. Score.

Pictures from Jackson's party (Sunday, Dec 5th) - in no particular order....

The cake - Gabriel is my hero!
Some of the decorations Aaron & I made - we saved cans for months, lol!

small table centerpieces - they were all different

Good buddy, Zach!

Frankie drinkin' & drivin'....

Sweet London!

Gabi painting her robot bank

The bank painting was a hit!

My sweet Wacko!

This was pretty much Jackson's face the whole time!

and he was rarely still...

This is one of Jackson's best buddies, Luke.

He is quite the daredevil - at one point, he dropped 5 feet face-first off the moneky bars into the dirt, got up & said That was fun! He's a nut!

Jackson "pumping" Frankie. Ha!

This was about the only time KK wasn't crying. :(
She is very shy! So glad she was able to have a little fun!

"Robot" hats made of oil filters

Evidently, the new thing is to NOT open gifts at the party. I sort of have an issue with this because I believe it is important to teach children how to give gifts & how to graciously accept gifts, but obviously that is not something that all parents feel is important, so we didn't. We took all the gifts back to our house and our family members watched Jackson open them.

He got tons of fun things from all of his friends and sweet family members - thank you so much to everyone! Yaya, Gabby & Nana all made yummy food to bring; PaPa took pictures; Aaron stayed up late & endulged me as we made soup can robots; Pops & Clay helped with the clean-up - it was a true family affair! Thanks guys! Love ya 460!
