Quit monkeyin' around...

...and 'swing' on into Sterling's 3rd birthday party!

Wow, it's finally over! Months of planning, stressing, spending and it's finally over! I think I can relax a little now!

The party went so good! Almost all of his friends (and all his family) showed up and he just had an absolute blast with every single one of them. I am so glad that everyone was able to come and make it such a special day for him.

I was a little worried if these were going to turn out, but I thought they did! sorry so blurry. my camera s.u.c.k.s!! That's our only Christmas wish this year!

Can you see the 6' monkey hangin out the top...yeah, he didn't last long until he got several holes put in his side by some of the kids! Oh well See all the monkey's everywhere! pre-craziness!

We set up a big bounce house for them to play in as well "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" devouring his cupcake

Ok, this was hysterical.

We let him see this first....didn't quite catch on.

Then he unwrapped this... (pre-fish brain injury) this was taken right after he dropped the poor fish because it moved!!! You can see in his face that he wasn't quite sure of it. Oh my, it was so funny! (guess you had to be there =) ) Daddy had to tell him where it goes. Later on that night Heath asked him what he wanted to name his fish and Sterling says,"Beer!" Guess who was holding a beer while he was asking a three year old that question!! Um, new name please! Pinata time! After everyone tried to bust this thing many times, little miss Claire finally got if for us! Thanks Claire!

Goofy look, but there's the birthday boy in all his glory!

As soon as everyone was gone (about 3:30) Sterling was finally able to go down for a MUCH needed nap! What a big day/week! :)
