Gabe's 3rd Birthday

Last weekend we went to Chicago to celebrate Gabe's 3rd birthday. Gabe chose to have a Ratatouille party based on one of his favorite movies and it was the most fun and adorable themed birthday party we've been to. There were chefs hats and aprons for the kids to wear as they created their own mini pizzas and then later as they decorated their cupcakes complete with blue and yellow frosting and gobs of sprinkles. Henry's hands-down favorite part was decorating cupcakes. He never got too far though, he would spread some frosting on the cake and then bite the frosted part off and eat it. He also loved the sprinkles and once when I turned my back I turned back around to find the entire jar dumped out in a pile on the table. Sara also made adorable goody bags for the kids, each with a mini frying pan, a rubber whisk, spatula set, apron and gummy candies shaped like different foods (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc). Everything was absolutely adorable! They served French foods and even made some ratatouille, which was really yummy. We had so much fun and loved celebrating with Gabe. And I just want to say very well done Sara! As I write about it, I realize that having kid "chefs" could really be an ordeal, but you did a great job and everything went so well!! We loved it.

We must have been working on these posts at about the same time! It was so great to have you guys here! You got some good shots of the little boys together, too - so cute! Also, the one of Gabe with the rat in the frying pan cracks me up! Thanks so much for posting these pics and for all the wonderful compliments!

Love you,

Sara
