Happy Birthday Chase!!

On September 28th, Chase turned 3 years old!  I can't believe how fast this 3 years has gone by and how big my first baby is now!  On the morning of his birthday, I had to wake him up because it was past 7:30 and he still hadn't woken up yet.  I walked into his room with my camera and he was cranky!  I came in saying "Happy Birthday!" and the only response I got was him screaming "No" back to me and pulling the covers back over his head!  I told Drew later that I thought I had a 13 year old rather than a 3 year old!

Because of Chase's love of all things Avenger, guess what his party theme was!

My big project!  These cookies took 7+ hours, but they were well worth it.  I don't know if I'll make them again (unless Cooper or Chase specifically ask, of course) but I did learn a lot in the process so I think I could make simpler designs in the future.

Thor-Daddy

I'm not exactly sure who all the "Bad Guys" are on the fence, but we let the boys get a chance to shoot at the bad guys with the water guns.

Of course, Uncle Drew has to torture Parker.  He thinks it's his job. 

When Drew and I saw the Avenger cups at Target, we knew that Chase would love to play a stacking game with them.

I bet Thor's daddy didn't wipe cookie icing off of Thor's face when he was little!

Sweet Gray!

All of the Avengers!

Hulk Smashing!

Brave Aunt Melanie

Chase and I had been practicing blowing out candles.  I was so worried that he wouldn't do it, that I forgot to take a picture of him actually blowing them out.  Also, Chase fell in love with this bottle of water a few minutes before the cake, so he wouldn't let it go.

If you can't tell, I made the cake.  While it doesn't look super fancy (remember, I spent 7 hours on the cookies), it was delicious.
