Griffin's 3rd Birthday Playdate

Griffin was so excited about his birthday this year.  He loved his family celebration in New Bern (here and here).

He loved the group celebration held in his classroom at school (I didn't bring my camera - the shock! the horror! - so here are a a couple of cute pictures that Anne, his friend Kate's mother, took).

And he had so much fun with his favorite friends at a birthday playdate at our house.  He specifically requested Sarah Scott, Mia, Kate, Aston, and Isaiah from school and his friend Jack from the neighborhood.  They were all able to come and he was so excited.  Every time someone arrived, he would say, "Hi _____!  You're here!"  I'm not a huge detail girl/party planner, so the kids just played in the backyard, ate lunch and celebrated with cupcakes (Griffin fittingly ate 3 cupcakes in grand celebration).  Low maintenance.  Filled with fun friends.  Perfect.

Here's a peak into the playdate.  Happy Birthday, Griffin!
