We Built A Great Third Birthday Party!

Max and Myles love anything to do with trucks, cars, tools, lawn tools, and the garage. So we found it fitting to "Build them a party". The McDaniel Construction site was where all the fun took place on the 18th. For not knowing much about boys, I'm starting to get the hang of it...


This cake was perfect. The lady who helps us with cakes for special occasions is an artist and a cake decorator. I simply told her the theme and she went to town.
Notice the "rocks" that are chocolate covered marshmallows. They were so realistic!
Max and Myles had their own little orange construction cones with a blue 3 on it. It's so fitting because Myles' favorite color is orange and Max's is blue.



Uncle Doug, Molly and Libby arrived ready to construct. Everyone built his own fajita for dinner. As many of you know, I love Mexican, and I try to incorporate it whenever possible!!
Papa Denny and GJ arrived with their very own construction hats. The invitation said hard hats and tool belts were required. Our special guests received yellow hard hats and Home Depot tool belts.
Check out Daddy's shirt. It was quite an experience for me, but eventually I figured out how to print and transfer images onto shirts. (Thanks to Lala!)

Lala told us she was the K-State white trash construction worker. My dad told her he hoped she would not get stopped by the police on the way home. (She had on quite the boots!)
Here is Great-Aunt Jackey, Great-Uncle Don, Papa Tim, and Great-Aunt Bonni. (They are all from Sean's side of the family.) We were glad they could join us.
Eddie and Aunt Monique. They really looked too fashionable to wear a hard hat, but they joined in with the tool belts.

Max and Myles were blessed to receive so many neat gifts. Aunt Kelly and Uncle Doug bought them new winter coats, hats and mittens. They put them on immediately, and I hope to get pictures from them to post on here. It was darling!! Lala spoiled them with a sleeping bag, lots of clothes and very stylish Nike tennis shoes. (They are red, white and blue for USA and NOT KU!) Papa Tim gave them a darling dump truck shirt and sweatshirt. They were more than thrilled to wear it last week. Myles told Max he was the construction worker!! Aunt Monique and Eddie gave the boys darling shirts from the Gap with a musical card. We have heard "Who Let the Dogs Out" quite a bit. They have loved opening the card!! Many other gifts were given including a darling outfit from my grandparents who never forget us and sent it in the mail.

One thing is for sure, Max and Myles have very special relatives who love them and spoil them. We are so grateful!
