Hudson's 3rd Birthday Party

I really can't believe my sweet little baby boy is three! I am in complete denial, despite the fact that he is completely potty trained, sleeps in a big boy bed, feeds himself and really only needs me to cook his food and drive him around. But he is my baby.....so he can't be three!

But he is, so what did I do? I threw him a dragon party because that is what he loves (and I love him).
I was not really excited about hosting a dragon party; I mean I don't know much about dragons and they aren't typically cute. But I did my research on Pinterest and found some fun ideas. Happy Birthday Hudson!!

Brad's dad painted this amazing larger than life dragon for Hudson (he loved it)



 I found these great foam shields along with some knight party hats and of course Toothless party blowers. 


 I cut out swords from foam board and had the kids decorate them with dragon stickers and crayons. They really enjoyed making these swords their own.

I found these adorable fire-breathing inflatable dragons for the kids to play ring toss, but that was difficult as Hudson carried all three around for most of the party. 



He loves his dragons 




Later the kids were able to use their swords to 'slay' a real (pinata) dragon. This was so much fun to watch.

We also played Pin the Tail on the dragon. My dear friend Amber painted this awesome dragon for the party.

Party food for a Knight



It was really fun planning the menu complete with Fire Balls, Dragon Dip, and Fruit Swords




We also served Knight Ships, Fire Torches, Dragon Scales, and Dragon Nuggets




Hudson's favorite was this fabulous Dragon cake.  So cool!







Hudson received some great gifts



Thank you to all of our friends and family who came to celebrate this special boy with us. He had a fabulous time at his dragon party. We love you Hudson!!

Hope the birthday boy enjoyed a lot with his friends. My sister is also planning her son's birthday at one of the fabulous Chicago venues at the end of this month. Already searching them online along with quality caterers and bakers. Chocó cookies and pies will be baked by me. And DIY invitations with return gifts will also be packed and decorated by me.
