A Pirate Looks at 3

We celebrated Hank's third birthday with a pirate looks at 3 Jimmy Buffet style party.  Brooke at Funky Wright Designs came up with the perfect wording and invite to set the tone.

As always it was at my mother and father in law's home.  They have a great yard and house for entertaining and its always fun to decorate.

The menu was simple..cheeseburgers, crab sandwiches and dips in pirate bowls and margarita glasses..

I made frozen concoction cups for the adults and for the kids treats I did juicy fruit and margarita flavored drink mixes in pirate cups.

We blew up giant cheeseburger beach balls for the kids to bounce around.

Love these 3 beauties so much!

We are so fortunate grannies and papaws make it to birthday parties.

The best MIL a girl could ask for..

She and my FIL surprised Hank with his own treehouse and sandbox! (We used the sandbox to have a treasure hunt including finding the lost shaker of salt!)

The sign may say no girls allowed but Hank made an exception for two of his favorite ladies.

Four best buddies..

And three blonde besties.

Hank! You're 3!

Happiest boy in the world right there.

Happy Birthday Hank

Oh, Hank.  I cannot believe my sweet, baby boy is three years old today.  It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms upon your arrival.  I knew you were a special boy the moment I laid eyes upon you.

You were and are still to this day a cuddle bug.  You love to be held, be snuggled, and hold mommy's hand.

You are the sweetest child 90 percent of the time (Rosie would say 99) when things are going your way.  When things aren't going your way you've been know to be quite a handful.

I've been known to make grilled cheese at 8:00 in the morning and pancakes at midnight just to make you happy.

Your favorite thing to do is build.  You build with scrap pieces of wood, you build with blocks, you build with boxes.  You have great imagination and are actually quite handy.

Your favorite TV shows are Team Umizoomi and Paw Patrol.

Your favorite foods are mac and cheese, bacon, and cinnamon rolls.  Sometimes all at the same time.

You love chocolate.

But not nearly as much as you love your blankie.  Its about half the size it started out as, but it still goes most everywhere with us.

You are a sturdy little fella and weigh 36 pounds and are 39 inches tall.

You are Daddy's boy and Momma's world and we thank God for you every day.

And here's a little stroll down memory lane if you're interested..
