The Big 3

We decided to celebrate Caleb's third birthday with a dinner with a few friends.
We added the two leaves to our table and filled up our living room. We had 10 adults and 5 kids.


I made a couple of fruit displays:


Steve made some amazing bread bowls:


And some DELICIOUS soups!

I made a spinach, cranberry, pecan salad:



Here is the set-up:


And I made a dinosaur cake. It started off a little bumpy, but ended up turning out great!


We ate dinner and cake.

Then we sat around and talked for awhile.
While the kids played in the back.


We also looked through Caleb's books, and everyone went home with a dinosaur.

It really was a nice day. It was something to look forward to, and it turned out great.

Birthday to come

This year we're planning on actually having a birthday party for Caleb's third birthday. Okay, so it's mostly just going to be a birthday dinner with a few friends, but I'm getting excited about it. I've been looking at ideas online and found something that I think will be perfect for the cake!

The link wasn't working, so you'll have to copy and paste.

I also want to make one of those edible floral arrangements as part of the meal. You know where you have different fruits on skewers--cantaloupe, honey dew, strawberries, grapes and the pineapple cut into the shape of a flower.

We'll see how everything turns out!
