Let The Wild Rumpus Start | Jack’s 3rd Birthday

by thejoyparade

26 Feb

I can hardly believe my littlest miracle is already THREE, but alas, it appears to be true. This year we took our inspiration from his current favorite book, Where the Wild Things Are, which he affectionately refers to as his “Wild Rumpus Book.” And a Wild Rumpus certainly seemed appropriate for our little monster. We opted for a Saturday morning brunch, complete with pancakes, bacon, a yogurt bar, and plenty of donuts. There was even a mimosa bar for the grownups to enjoy. We chose to have an “open house” get together, rather than a traditional birthday party, so that we could enjoy the time with our guests and just let the kids be kids. Overall we had a grand time and I would call the rumpus a big success.

Here’s a gallery of some very quick photos I snapped before the days festivities got underway (and before we added all 5 lbs of bacon to the table! YUM!) Much of the party was DIYed by yours truly, but I will include links on the bottom in case you see something you want to snag. (I tried to include a link to a similar item whenever I could.)

 "I had found my rock bottom, and instead of pulling me out of the broken pieces of my shattered expectations, the God of the universe met me there in the rubble. Inside my grief I found the start of a deepening intimacy with God that I had never known possible. There was something sacred in the pain, as if somehow, in this suffering I was standing on holy ground, breathtakingly close to the great I am.""I had found my rock bottom,  and instead of pulling me out, the God of the universe met me there in the rubble"  Even if the healing never comes, there is something sacred in the suffering. It’s from holy rubble that God makes all things new. Blonde
