The third birthday party was so wonderful! The theme was monster trucks and strawberry shortcake. I wanted to make the trucks "crash" into the strawberry cake. The kids loved it, but they loved their presents even more. We started the party by decorating truck and strawberry cookies. I laughed so hard at all the kids just pouring on tons of sprinkles and icing! The adults judged the cookies on appearance. Jude "won" after everyone voted, but cried when I put the cookie monster necklace prize on his neck. Ha Ha. After dipping strawberries in chocolate we all ran into the living room where the pandemonium began! Jude and Petra ripped open their gifts so fast I had no idea who was giving what. They received really special gifts from everyone and we've played with them non-stop.
Petra was a bit overwhelmed when everyone arrived and was clinging to mommy and daddy. But by the middle of the party she was all smiles and playing with the toys and then chasing her buddy Caleb around the house. Those two are inseparable when they get together. Petra rarely chooses another playmate over her twin, but Caleb is her favorite. I love the joy I see in her face as she plays with him. When he had to leave she followed him outside and watched him leave. She paced the sidewalk and didn't want to come back inside for a long time. I've been so fascinated watching her make this connection/ friendship. Caleb is a year older than her.
Favorite toys : Mater and McQueen (truck/cars), Strawberry shortcake dolls, dump trucks and tractors, and the critters from Christmas
