Landon's 3rd Birthday Party

On Saturday October 4th, we hosted our largest party yet to celebrate Landon's 3rd birthday! We invited family & local friends, Landon's buddies from preschool, and our neighbors, and were thrilled with the turn-out. At my final count, we hosted over 50 adults & 25 kiddos. O.M.G. Highlights of the big day included:

- a (planned) visit from the San Jose Fire Department (don't worry, we didn't set the house on fire)
- a jumpy house in the front yard
- sidewalk chalk & play-doh table for the well behaved girls
- balls, bats, goals, and a play structure for the rambunctious boys
- plenty of "mommy & daddy drinks" for the parents
- Sean's entire family's attendance (all 5 of Sean's siblings, all of Landon's cousins, both grandparents, 2 great-grandparents...oh my!)
- 18 large pizzas
- Landon sharing a quiet moment on the couch with Aunt Dee Dee & Uncle Gary, gnawing on a slice of pizza
- 4 dozen delicious cupcakes (with WHITE frosting this year. Let's just say that the RED and BLUE frosting last year was a bad choice...)
- the group singing happy birthday  to Landon "quietly" at my request, because he's sort of scared of loud noises right now!
- hiding the gifts from Landon so he wasn't tempted to tear into them before we were ready!
- too many wonderful & thoughtful gifts for our big boy (including a new scooter, his first set of golf clubs, and his very first skateboard)

What a lucky lucky boy our Landon is! Photo highlights & a few short videos included below!
