Atticus's 3rd Birthday Party - Chicago

We had Atticus's Chicago birthday party this weekend, which we combined with some World Cup viewing.  I'm not sure if Atticus was really appreciative of that.

I still have some timing issues when hosting parties, so our guests were relegated to the park while I put the finishing touches on the food.

Atticus was not so keen on a plan that took him away from his presents and cake.

A bit out of focus but captured Lowell and Colette at their best.  I can honestly say they may be each other's favorite person.

The Hobson beasts with their friend Sam.

Feats of strength.

I had asked our guests to buy Atticus books since we are up to our necks in plastic vehicles, he was less than impressed.

We got Atticus a blue bicycle but received a subdued reaction, which made me realized I probably got this bicycle more for myself than him.

My attempt at making a custom cake: order plain cake from bakery, and add toy trucks and strawberries as decorations.  This might be what you call a Pinterest fail.

Despite the less than professional decorations, Atticus didn't have a problem finishing off his second helping.

This boy loves his cake.
