Surf's Up, Nug!

Continuing on with Andy's birthday celebration....!

Can't believe it's been THREE years since this:


I feel like the past three years have flown by, but then I also feel like Andy has been a part of our family forever!

We woke up Sunday morning and Andy spotted his presents.  He was a SLOW opener.  Where Cal rips through gifts and moves on to the next immediately, Andy would open one and then just sit and look at it.  He didn't care if he didn't open another gift the entire day! He was thrilled with whatever he was holding at the time!

We told the birthday boy he could pick whatever he wanted for breakfast and he picked Dunkin Donuts! I added some candles and he was happy!


After a morning of playing hard with new toys, Andy crashed on the couch downstairs and Cal had some snuggle time with Hank upstairs.  


When they all rested, I loaded the car with the help of CB and Patty...lots of beach balls! And then headed over to the club to get set up.


I loved the cupcakes.... we frosted them and then covered them in crushed graham crackers to make them look like they were covered in sand.  Then CB sprinkled the extra sand on the table-- I thought these were super cute! Loved the umbrellas too :)



I made a banner of little board shorts-- it was impossible to get a good picture of it since they were hanging in front of a window.  The back light was hard, but I thought it turned out really cute! Each one had a different print on it.


Once all the decorations were set up, the rest of the fam showed up.  Andy was super excited to come check out his party! I have a pic similar to this one from his party last year-- love it.


The boys immediately got in the bounce house-- I tried to get a pic of them (similar to last year!) in the there-- they really just wanted to run and play though. 


A few more pics of the decor-- little short tables with leis for everyone...


The drink area with fun straws...

 Before the guests arrived, we got a family shot (minus my dad! He was on the way still!)


And Eddie and I had to celebrate surviving another two year old boy! Holla!


 The birthday boy!!!


CB and Nug


My party assistants!!!

 Nug made me promise to not have them sing happy birthday to him.  Whatever.  So I got a cupcake for him, put some candles in and I sang it to him- just me.  No one at the party had any idea he blew out candles.  I just started passing out cupcakes...maybe next year Andy will like it.


These kids love a pinata.  Love it.  I guess they love having permission to hit something as hard as they can...? Who knows? But they love it! I handed the bat to kids and my friend took pics with my phone until it died... I am so bad I didn't take any with a real camera.  Oh well!


A family shot... momma and daddy and a 4 year old and a new 3 year old!!







It was a fun party and I am thrilled to have it behind me! ha! Now I can focus on other things that need my attention..... several people have already asked me what Cal's theme will be for his party in September.  Ohhhhh, Lawd!

Happy birthday, Nug!
