Fulton's Pancake Party

Saturday was party day for this little guy! It all started with a book called "If You Give a Pig a Pancake." I love to base his birthday parties off of books and I knew this would be a fun theme. 


This little cutie woke up Saturday morning thrilled about all his friends coming over for his party. He helped with the finishing touches and eagerly watched the guys set up the bounce house. He jumped in as soon as they left and couldn't wait to try it out before the party started. 


For his party favors we handed out bowls with cereal boxes. The kids loved these!!


Aunt Keri has a tradition now. She loves making the number for the door and did not disappoint with the number 3 this year. 


Our food table filled with some awesome breakfast yummies. The main course was a pancake bar complete with strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. We also had muffins, doughnut holes, hashbrown casserole, cheese grits, grapes, apples and dip, and sausage balls. Wash it all down with a big glass of Orange Juice or Lemonade and your belly is content. 


Are you ready for this amazing cake?! It's a cake made to look like a stack of pancakes with the syrup bottled suspended in the air. Amazing!! It was created by our precious Mrs. Vin. Not only was it super cool, it was delicious too. 


Fulton was thrilled to have Kiki and Pete there to help us celebrate. Thanks to them both 
for all their help. 


Yay!! KK and Pop were there to help celebrate too. Thanks to their huge help too. As always could not have done it without the help of my sweet family. 


Our little family of three celebrating the life of this little blessing God has given us. 
What a great day to celebrate!


Fulton loves Mrs. Vin! He kept asking if she was coming to his party!


You know how I am with pictures and I tried to get a family shot of everyone as they came in. I think I missed like two families though. 


A few more of the sweet people who came to help us celebrate. 


Have I mentioned we have the best friends ever!! Love all these families that took the time out of their day to come and fellowship with us. 


A few of the sweet girls in our class. 


It's cake time. I really hated to cut that amazing cake, but we were eager to dig in. 


Somebody loved it!! He had a little dessert date with his buddy Laylee. I wish I could have gotten more pictures of Fulton sitting still with his friends, but there wasn't much sitting still involved. 


Fulton said the best part of the day was the bounce house. He had a ball!!


Fulton had a great time with Kiki in there with him. 


The weather was great. We woke up to a cloudy day, but it was very cool and not a bit hot. 


You know how much I love to host and have people over to our house. This just warms my heart to open our home and see all these families getting to fellowship together. 


After the party this little guy convinced Pop to get in the bounce house with him. 
They had so much fun!


You know we are sticking with our tradition and ask people not to bring gifts but our family never follows the rules, so this little guy had a few things to open after his friends had gone. 


He loves his Ninja Turtles walkie talkies from KK and Pop and thinks he is super cool in the Spiderman costume Kiki and Pete gave him. 


One of the greatest parts is the huge box of donations we received and will be able to donate to the Bell Center for Early Intervention. We are really trying to get Fulton to see that it's not all about us, it's about doing things for others. We had the bounce house until 7:00 pm so the sweet Raudenbush family came back down with some pizzas and we continued the after party up until the guys arrived to take it down. The kids were a sweaty mess, but I would say we got our money's worth.

What a fabulous day of celebrating this little guys life!! This is his last night as a two year old. My sweet baby boy will be three tomorrow!
