Monster Birthday Party

Yesterday we had Lincoln's 3rd birthday! How is he 3? I mean, seriously?

 I feel like he was born yesterday. The party was a hit and Lincoln had an awesome time.

 Calling All Monsters! 

It's a Monster Mash Birthday Bash! 

Our little monster is turning 3!

For Lincoln's party he wanted a bouncy castle, and surprisingly enough they have

 them on Statia to rent.With our church group here we have been blessed to 

have a lot of younger kids (ages 2-4yrs old) that Lincoln has become friends with.

 He invited Lucy Bridge, Fay & Eden Farrell, Liam Tidmarsh and Eli & Krysten Sala.

For the birthday craft we painted conch shells we collected near harbour/dock. It was a big hit painting the shells. Lincoln also loved gathering the shells for all his friends prior to his party.

The kids waited so well, while it was getting set up.

We had the bouncy castle booked from 3-6pm. When we arrived at the park at 2:40, it wasn't there. So we called to make sure it was coming and it was.... It was just Statia style late. It was there and ready to go by 3:30. So we did the craft first while the castle was being put up.

 Lincoln LOVED it!!!

... along with all his friends.

It seemed to be a BIG hit!

The kids almost jumped continuously on the castle for 

the 3 hours it was up, other then periodic drink and supper breaks.

Lacey loves the swing at the park and all the girls love pushing her.  

She seemed to love being with all the GIRLS.

Lacey even had fun at the PARTY!

Birthday cupcakes! I'm soooo glad they turned out. baking/cooking is a bit different here since the ovens are propane gas powered. The oven temperature is in celsius. Converting the temperature from ferinhite to celsius doesn't work, along with the fact that the propane burns hotter then conventional natural gas.  So i asked to see what the other moms cooked things at and gave it a whirl.... and it worked. I'm so glad!

Friends hanging out.

Lincoln just liked licking the icing off.

Lacey even enjoyed the cupcakes. 

There's not much that this girl doesn't like eating.

Present time! Lincoln got spoiled. He received moon dough set, water gun, crayons and a coloring book, play dough, a harmonica,  bubble gum and some candy! He was amazed at all his new toys and gifts.

The party was a success! We didn't get rained out. The bouncy castle showed up. The cupcakes turned out, and the kids had fun. It was a perfect party for our little man that we love so much. He had a blast!

Sorry for the picture overload. I just felt like I need to include a tonne of pictures for the grandparents since they werent' able to attend. 

Miss you guys!
