Superhero 3rd Birthday Party

This past weekend we celebrated Lincoln's 3rd birthday!  Lincoln is 100% all-boy and is very much interested in all things superheros.  So, it was only fitting that we would go with that theme.  This was actually Lincoln's first "friend" party.  For his first birthday we had a family party at my parents and for his second birthday we took a weekend family trip to Tulsa and then did another small family party. So, this was my first time to plan an actual party for him.  It was fun - slightly stressful but lots of fun.  Of course, I turned to pinterest and Etsy for my ideas and found several.  

First of all, I got the CUTEST invitations off of Etsy.  I love getting invites off of there and then just printing them myself.  It is very cost effective and so stinkin' cute.  This invitation was made at THIS Etsy shop. 

And I got Lincoln a spiderman themed birthday shirt from THIS Etsy shop. 

And little sister also had to have a "superhero" outfit for the party.  So I had her a "super sister" shirt made by a local lady (The Pink Lilli) and then I made her bow and her tutu!  I am quite the crafter lately!!

So now that we are all dressed and ready to go we headed to the "jump place" as Lincoln calls it.  Lincoln invited about 15 friends to join him for his birthday bash.  I think I was able to get a picture of most everybody who attended!

Group picture.  Lincoln was NOT a willing participant in this photo op so thanks to daddy for jumpin' in and helping out

Family picture - Lucy is behind my head and Poppy was outside on the phone. 

The best family photo of the day

After the kids were done jumping, we enjoyed pizza, drinks and cake.
 

As I mentioned earlier I have really been enjoying some crafting lately so for the kids favor bags I made some homemade masks and super hero suckers.

After the party was over we headed back to our house to do some gifts with just the family.  Since this post is already on picture overload I will post another one of Lincoln opening his gifts up next.
