Today we had Xavier's 3rd birthday party! This was a big event in the making! Ever since we got back from Disneyland, he knew he wanted a Lightning McQueen party. Thank goodness Party City has a ton of Cars party stuff! I decided this year I was going to try to make a special cake for Xavier since I am addicted to the Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss shows! So I bought the Lightning McQueen cake set! Xavier and I had made the cake and cupcakes the night before so on Sunday morning we got up early to start decorating! We decorated the whole house with Cars stuff! We brought out all of his pillows and blankets that are Cars and then we put up all of the additional decor we had bought! I then began to decorate the Lightning McQueen cake! It only took me 2 HOURS!! Xavier was right by me the entire time talking to me about what I was doing! I think for my first cake it turned out pretty good and Xavier loved it so that's all that matters! The party was fun and Xavier got a ton of gifts! With no nap the entire day, he had a little bit of birthday let down and he is now in our bed watching Leap Frog Word Factory...but I doubt he is watching it...he is probably fast asleep!
After 2 Hours it's almost done!

He was pretty good at opening the cards before the presents
He would try to read me the card while I was reading it to him!
Grandma Mary got Harper a pink pig, so Xavier went to give it to her!
