Happy 3rd Birthday Owen!
Owen's third birthday party had a train theme. We had the party today (11.24.2007) at our church building in the multi-purpose room. We had planned to have a small train ride in the parking lot, but we had to cancel that on account of the unseasonable weather Abilene has been experiencing this week (Beautiful SNOW!). So, our family and a few close friends enjoyed some birthday fun indoors. There was cake, ice cream and snacks to munch on.
There were toy trains and balloons to play with.
We had train coloring pages and the party's anticipated crowning glory...a train pinata!
(Here's Clay getting in on the crazy pinata action.
With a little help from "GG".)
I was so convinced that Owen would love his first pinata experience (whacking something with a baseball bat seemed right up his ally!), that I neglected to "talk" to him about it before hand (for those of you who know my oldest, you know that he is a reserved creature of habit, who needs things discussed before being able to jump in.). Needless to say, he didn't even whack it once! He reservedly watched as the other children pummelled the pinata with all their might. When asked if he would like to take a turn, he would reply (wide eyed) "no thanks". He was, however, very quick to take part in the gathering of the candy that ensued when the pinata was at last broken open. Then, of course, on our way home from the party he said "I really would like to hit that train". Hmmm...too late sweetie. It was a very fun third birthday bash! Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate a special Owen day before the craziness of "Sweet Bun" gets underway!

Meg- I have to hand it to you on this party! How many mothers with two little ones, two days away from delivering a third, can plan such a cute party, have everything ready, decorate the cake and do it with a huge smile! Your win the Mom of the Year award in my books! Owen, Clay and Will are blessed little boys to have you as their mom!
