Monster Truck party

Happy Birthday Jaxon!!!  Can't believe you are 3 years old.  Jaxon loves monster trucks, construction vehicles, hot wheels, basically anything with wheels.  This year we decided to do a monster truck themed party, which he loved.  Since his birthday fell on a weekday we decided to celebrate as a family and Brian's parents joined us.  Instead of buying him a lot of gifts we thought we would do something fun to celebrate.  The morning of his birthday Jaxon woke up to screamers hanging down outside of his room, which he didn't seem to like, balloons at his table in the kitchen, and a maze of streamers downstairs that he had to follow to get to one of his gifts, a monster truck t-shirt to wear on his birthday.  I made him pancakes for breakfast and then we played at the park with some friends.
That night when Brian got home from work we took him bowling for the first time.  He loved it.  Then we got some yummy burgers at a local burger place and came back to the house with Brian's parents and had cake and opened a few gifts.

Then on May 16 we had some friends over to celebrate.  We were supposed to have it at a nearby park, but thanks to my wonderful friend who informed me before Saturday arrived that there would be a community festival that would be blocking off roads to get to the park.  So we had to go to plan B, monster truck party at our house, which ended up working out great.  The weather was perfect and the kids got to play outside.
