Evan Turns 3

My baby boy turned THREE! Evan requested a Clifford the Big Red Dog birthday party with "a vanilla Clifford cake." Clifford isn't the most commonly requested character, so we had a little difficulty finding things, but I think it pulled together well. We invited three of his friends and their families for the party on Saturday.

We started with Pin the Tail on Clifford. Evan has a book about a birthday party for Clifford, and they have a pinata. We were lucky to find a dog bone-shaped one that ended up being nearly impossible to break. Let's just say everyone got LOTS of turns.




We used a stuffed Clifford Evan has to play Find Clifford. Evan also requested a treasure hunt, so Clifford sent the kids on one that ended with a treasure box full of bubbles for the kids to play with outside. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

I think Evan's favorite part of the whole party was when everyone sang Happy Birthday to him. The look on his face says it all.




He got a play kitchen, two Clifford books, a subscription to The Friend magazine and some art supplies. He was delighted with everything. He's such a sweet, sweet boy, and we just adore him!
