The cake was fabulous!  I ordered the candle holders to try and personalize it a little for the boys.  Each little guy is wearing a super hero cape.  Luke's is purple with Superman, Liam's is green/orange/yellow with Batman, and Aiden's is blue with Captain America.

All five of us!

Lunch at Chuck E. Cheese with our friends Jack and Charlie on Luke and Liam's actual birthday (Friday, Jan 11th)
Can't believe we are so BIG!  3, 5, and 5 years!

 
Over the weekend, we celebrated Luke, Liam, and Aiden's birthdays.  Aiden turned three on January 2nd and Luke and Liam turned 5 on January 11th.  As I mentioned previously, we decided to make things easier this year and have one big gymnastics birthday party.  The gymnastics open gym is a place we go almost weekly in the winter to burn off energy during the preschool open gym.  All three boys love it.  We started going when Luke and Liam were barely a year old and Aiden has been fairly regular since he was about 3 months old (in a Bjorn carrier)!! 

We had a rocket ship themed party.  This was a theme that seemed to fit with everyone.  We don't all agree on too many things, but they all like space and rockets.  It was a good fit for three boys plus I am not into character themed anything.  Disney World is overdrive for me!  We had rocket ship cups and bags for party favors along with a few other small items.  We played hard in the gym for nearly an hour.  The staff played games with all the kids and then allowed them some open gym time.  Next, we went to the party room for cake, ice cream, and presents.  It took them no time to eat cake.  I think they were finished by the time we got everyone served so we quickly moved back into the gym to burn off all the sugar.  The boys were super tired the night after the party.  All in all, it was a fun day and a memorable party for all three boys.
