Grayson turns 3



Grayson Kyle Clayton turned three on January 21st and all he asked for was "a belt and a pair of bewdeans." So what did he get?? A belt and a pair of blue jeans.....he could not have been happier!

This is the first time either of my children have donned denim!!!! At least I made it this long!



To celebrate, we converted the Clayton house into The Clayton Candy Shoppe!

Here's the invitation......




Here's the birthday boy's table and banner.....




Candy, candy everywhere, not a nutritious thing in sight!!!!!!!


The BOPS man came and made "special order" ice cream sundaes for everyone....


We served traditional white cupcakes then had an icing table for everyone to decorate their own cupcake!


We finished the sugar high off by busting the pinata!!!!



Who says that all that sugar is going to get these kids all hyped up? This lil fella zonked out before the last guests departed!!!!



The day was a blast with a lot of friends and family. I know next year will be totally different...he'll decide what kind of party he wants (a football party, he already has it planned), his school friends will be included (because he will know the difference) and I am ok with that......I am more laid back than I ever thought I would or could be as a mom.....letting my children lead and live their own lives, while at times a struggle, is so much fun to watch.
