Happy Birthday Rutherford!

Rutherford had an awesome construction birthday party! We invited like 10 little kiddos and their parents and had a blast in the backyard. We played games like the clothespin game (an old family favorite), had some parachute fun and R even picked out an awesome firetruck pinata. I found some construction birthday cake inspiration on Pinterest and even though mine wasn't as pretty we all thought it was pretty cool! We used chocolate grahams for the dirt :)

Everyone wore construction hats and I think one of the most popular things was the ice breaker - literally I mean. I froze some toys in tupperware, then popped them out onto the cement. I gave the kids play tools and they were seriously all occupied for a good 45 minutes busting into the ice. All the parents loved it.

The grandparents and Ned and I all chipped in to get R his very own big kid tricycle. He loves it and now that we've had it for a few months he's getting really good at riding it.

R had a wonderful birthday and we're so proud of our beautiful, sweet and smart four-year-old!

 Our awesome cake - R requested strawberry with strawberry frosting.
