Reed Gapen's 3rd birthday party

We went to Reed's 3rd birthday the first weekend in May. It was a John Deere theme, for Chris and Erin's little farmer; he was a sweet little John Deere man :). The kiddos went on a hayride, played outside and enjoyed some wonderful food and cake! Erin is an AWESOME party planner... Eddie has decided that she should plan and host Carter's 1st birthday party coming up soon :)! Let us know what you think, Erin, j/k!!! Thanks so much for including us for Reed's special day... the party was so much fun!!!

I did not get very many pictures because my camera died :(, but I did manage to get a few.

Reed blowing out his candles. His cake was so cute!

All of the kids were so excited about present time, can you tell?

Ashley took the picture below for me... Will played with this bat the entire afternoon. He was pretty shy around the big crowd, but had a wonderful time playing outside.
He loved Reed's slide...
Again...

Ashley and Ella enjoying some cake; beautiful girls :)!
Carter was begging one of the older kids for some cake.
Please :). Erin's precious mother, Lois, kindly fed him some after this picture (and I did, as well) :). She also loved on him and I did not have a camera to take a picture. Babies know sweet grandmothers when they meet them!
Ella was too funny with Carter!
That night we went to Windy City Grill with Nick, Ashley and Ella; it was so good. MY, how times have changed since the last time we all went OUT to dinner together :). The kids had a great time and only got upset a few times. It was a lot of fun with great friends!!! I am so disappointed that my camera was dead, but I will get some pictures next time!!!

So glad you guys were able to come to Reed's big bash! It wouldn't have been the same without ya!

Thanks for the compliments. Be sure & tell Eddie that he's welcome to have Carter's party here as long as he's willing to bring me some wine and clean the house! ;)
