What to do with the third child for a birthday!!! Honestly I was a little disorganized this year, his birthday snuck right up on me. I did happen to order decorations and supplies in advance enough that I wasn’t running around last minute trying to decide what to do. We went with a dinosaur theme for Paxten and the invitations said “Rooaarr Invited….to my 1st birthday party.” I thought it was pretty cute! We had the party on the Saturday following his birthday. While Paige was at her princess party, Parker and I decorated and I made the cake. I made an orange dino cake, and it turned out pretty cute. We had pizza, tossed salad, fruit, and pop for dinner. We had grandparents there from both sides and Charyn, Mike, Jackson, and Zander were also able to make it.
Paxten didn’t really know what was going on, although I kept calling him birthday boy all day long. He did seem to enjoy the extra attention. When it came time for presents, he just wanted to play with a ball he found. I kept having to pull him back to my lap to open the next gift. He got some money to put in his piggy bank, several outfits, a camping chair, a toy golf set, a few books, a mini pillow pet, and a few toys. He did manage to get spoiled and seemed to love his new toys, so did the other kids.
Paxten has been my only kid to really eat his birthday cake. He was a little hesitant at first, but after giving him a fork and a taste, he dug right in and ate the entire piece he was given. That’s my boy!! We had a fun night and appreciate and love all our family and friends that made it special for Paxten.
