Some of you may have been wondering how SP1's birthday celebration went last month. Let me assure you, the ascendancy to the age of three was celebrated with due diligence. There was, of course, a birthday week, which began on St. Patrick's Day this year...because it seemed right.
He got a Frisbee on the first day, which in hindsight, was probably not the most brilliant gift to bestow upon someone newly three (feel free to learn from our mistakes).
As our family tradition dictates, the birthday prince/king (there are no princesses as we have no girls save me, and no one bakes cakes for me, really) gets to choose his cake. SP1 said he wanted a "strawberry cake." Which really, could be anything. I took it literally and made him, well, a strawberry cake. 
It was Ina Garten's Country Strawberry cake, which really, is a glorified strawberry shortcake; but, there you are.
We had two parties on his actual birthday. First there was the celebration at school. 
Eighteen goodie bags--it isn't for the faint of heart--that's the parents' perspective, of course. But it was pretty fun. The kid liked it, so really, that is what matters most.
We also had a few friends over to celebrate at home. It was pretty low key, as low key as we get, I guess.
The Pup's favorite present was the yoga mat he asked us for a month before his birthday. No, seriously. 
He said he wanted a yoga mat for his birthday. A blue one.
And then we wrapped up the celebration the day after by writing thank you notes.
The whole celebration was a nice way to welcome in the big three, I think.

Happy belated, Anderson! His birthday gift will be in the mail Thursday morning!!! It's been ready for awhile, but with all the hoopla, I haven't had a minute.
