We had a BALL last Saturday at Drake's ball themed party! This year my motto was low key, well as low key as I could refrain myself to! We invited 6 of his buddies over for some ball fun. Luckily it was a beautiful day and we let the 2 and 3 year olds loose! We had melon balls, grapes, whoppers, cheese puff balls, and pigs in a blanket on the menu.
Drake's only requests were a piñata and a blue cake, easy enough! So we got a ball piñata, Drake filled it with candy and then loved whacking at it. Unfortuanately with 2 and 3 year olds they don't swing very hard so we had Jordan break it open!
And onto the blue cake! In the previous months Drake would bring up his birthday and he would say "And we will sing Happy Birthday", then he would procede to sing "Happy Birthday dear Drakey, Happy birthday to you". And that's exactly what we did!
And last but not least presents!
These were the cutest little hoppers I found for party favors!
I loved the simplicity of the party. It might have been a little boring for the adults but the kids had a lot of fun with all of the balls! Drake is still talking about his party, he names everyone that came and tells me about the pinyata and his cake and presents, cute boy. Drake is growing up so much, I love that kid more than anything! Here's to being 3!

Such a fun party and fun day! So glad we were there to celebrate. I love your new blog headliner!!
My cousin, Julie (Galler) Olsen, lost her 2 year old son and possibly husband today. I know you have been through a similar tragedy and was wondering if you had any suggestions for my family and me. We would obviously like to be there for her in the best way possible at this difficult time. If there is anything someone gave you or said to you or did for you that stands out would you please let me know. My email is alli.waldron@gmail.com or my phone number is (702) 622-3389.
I hope you don't think it's awkward that I'm sending you this! I know we don't talk much, but as soon as I heard about my cousin I thought about you and how strong and faithful you have continued to be.
Ok so I hope you don't think I'm weird for checking out your blog! But I was on Tiff's blog and thought of you! I don't know if I ever told you but we did end up moving to TX. Yay Texas! Anyway you have such great ideas! I love your scouts party ideas AND balls party! I don't have a boy but my second daughter is a tom boy and would LOVE something like that! I was wondering where you got the hopper balls?? was it local or could I order them. If you get a sec just let me know shaunapiper@gmail.com thanks!
