John's 3rd Birthday Party

Can you spell M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E?????  John can! :)  We had a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party for him on Saturday 12/10.  We did the party a little early because we will be flying on his real birthday and Jana, Steve, Lauren and Alana will all be in Rome.  This way most of us could be there to celebrate with him!

My bestie's sister-in-law made John's Mickey cake and cake pops, Gama Mitty did the pizza and salad and Party City did the rest! ;) 
The party was at Gama Mitty and Papa Joe's house.  Who attended? Gama, Papa, Kelli, Sara, Mark, Jill, Nana, Papa, Alana, AJ, and Great Grandma Evie.  It was just the right amount of people!
We ate pizza, opened presents and sang happy birthday.  It was sweet!

John's cake and cake pops

THE men!  Ryan and John built this work bench together a couple weeks ago.  I love this daddy-son project!  We will have this forever.  :)

DINNER

Chow time!  NUM-NUM-NUM!

Evie gave John a book to use on the airplane ride to AZ. 
She was explaining how it came with a special marker only for this book.

SJ got a present too!  :) Thanks Gama Mitty.

Not much of a sugar high... SJ was pretty tired actually!

Gama Mitty and John putting together his new puzzle that Sara got him.  It was pretty hard... but they got it done!

Thanks everyone for coming!! John had a wonderful day!!  As did the rest of our family- he is a kid to celebrate!
We love you John!!
