Although James doesn’t officially turn 3 until Wednesday, we had his birthday party this weekend. Stacy had been thinking about a theme for the past several months. The theme for his 1st birthday was monkeys; his 2nd birthday was Handy Manny; this year she decided on a Dr. Seuss Theme. Everything had to be Dr. Seuss related, from the decorations to the food…and even our outfits.

It really was a nicely done party…probably the best one yet. I don’t know how Stacy will be able to top this one, but I’m sure she’s already thinking about the theme for his 4th birthday!

A special thanks to my mom, Stacy’s mom, James’ aunts and aunties, and friends for making Dr. Seuss themed food. And to our family and friends who joined us to celebrate James’ birthday.
