It's that time of year again! Although his birthday isn't for a few more days, we thought it was a good idea to throw Cache's 3rd birthday bash while grandparents and Jared were still in town. Jared will be on AT for the actual day. Of course, when it comes to planning events, Pinterest is a party planner's best friend (at least one on a budget). I had all these ideas in my head about what would be so fun and we did the best we could! Thank goodness for Jean and Steve being here because I had enough help to pull it off! Especially with a the kitchen torn apart for the floors to be done...not what I had planned at the moment, but I'm glad it's done!
We even had to have the fridge in the fireplace room for a few days :)
But the party was a success! We blocked off the kitchen and it was a nice day so the kids came and went as they pleased outside and indoors. Most of the time was spent on the front porch. We even did the piñata out there! It was a pretty cool piñata because all the kids had to do was pull on the strings hanging down until one opened the trap door! No black eyes or crying children! ;)

And while we were all partying, Papa Steve put up an awesome swing! We all had a blast on it...not just the kids. :)
The. It was cake, ice cream and present time! Nothing like homemade ice cream and cake!
This cake had neon purple and green layers with raspberry, strawberry and blackberry fillings between the layers! Buttercream frosting, and yes, it was all gluten and soy free! Who knew? ;)
Oh yes! First picture of Avelyn who slept through the majority of the party. But she was ready to go when she woke up!
Overall it was fun and I'm glad so many were able to come! I'm glad family was able to enjoy this time with us too!
