Clayton's Birthday Party

We had Clayton's birthday party last Sunday. Here's the invite I emailed out to family (just Grandparents and Great-Grandparents were able to attend this one).

Clayton spent most of the first part of the party digging in the sand and playing outside. It was a little chilly, but not too bad. He really enjoyed playing in the sand with Grandpa Mark. Reese really enjoyed being a show-off and doing silly things like put a bucket on his head!

After everyone arrived, we opened presents! Every one was the new favorite, and Reese was bawling most of the time because he either wanted the new toy Clayton was playing with or he wanted the one we were trying to get out of the packaging. . . Christmas should be fun...?

Cozy Truck, aka "Four-Loller" (4-wheeler) from Papa and Grandma Branz

Bulldozer from Grandpa Mark and Grandma Dianne

John Deere dump truck that rumbles from Great-Grandpa Aldon and Great-Grandma Erna

Awesome motorcycle from Great-Grandpa and Grandma Branz

We also got a fun Mega Blocks dump truck from Uncle Brandon and Aunt Betsy with a lever that dumps the back end but I guess we didn't get a party picture of it! Ooops! :(

Singing Happy Birthday

Blowing out the candles 

Awesome cake decorated in 14 min. at Walmart since someone screwed up my order!

Birthday Boys snitching a little frosting ☺

After cake and ice cream the next activity was putting together the Cozy Truck, which Clayton has named the "Four Loller" (because that is how he pronounces 4-wheeler)

Stacking the tires and knocking them down

Both boys sitting in it while Daddy and Grandpa Mark figure out how to put it together!

Here are some pictures of the decorations. I don't know what was wrong with my camera's settings, but most of the pictures turned out pretty blurry. Oh well.
