Reed was SO excited about his birthday this year and couldn't wait for his party! I of course was very excited about planning the party and with the help of Josh and Amy we pulled it off. Reed loves painting, coloring and making things so we went with an "Art" theme and had an Art Party!
Picture with the Birthday Boy before the party began.
The whole family!
Food table decorations!
Reed's only request when you asked him what he wanted to have at his party were cookies, cupcakes and cheetos!
Thank you Amy and Josh for making the streamer table skirt!
I found the cutest party decorations on Etsy from a shop called Chickabug.
Artist Fruit Kabobs
Artist Palette Cupcakes
Paintbrush Pretzels
Artist Palette Cookies, these were done by Holly. I found these on pinterest and knew of Holly, through a friend in Fayetteville. I emailed her to see if she could do them and I was so excited she was able to and shipped them to me just in time. They tasted as good as they look! The perfect centerpiece!
Marshmellow Pops!
I displayed the cupcakes on real artist palettes. I was really happy with how they turned out.
Another of Reed's favorite.....candy!
Water bottle labels that said, "Reed's Third Birthday"!
Cup labels and fun paper straws!
Reed making his plate...notice the finger, already getting a lick of icing!
And of course the candy! After the party was over and we were cleaning up we kept catching Reed pulling the candy jar to the edge to get more! :)
Craft tables & streamer chandeliers The other half of the room....which I didn't get a good picture of was step up the same way for eating with artist palette placemats and paint bucket centerpieces.
This one was labeled Friend Frames. We had a photo booth set up with a poloroid camera where all the guest could have their picture taken with the Birthday Boy. The foam frames could be decorated with markers and foam stickers.
Funny Glasses & Slap Braclets to decorate with markers and foam letters and stickers.
Canvas Bags to decorate with fabric markers
Sand Art necklaces...rockets for the boys and flowers for the girls.
Going away table with big disney pens that said, "Thanks for making my day a Masterpiece!" I also didn't get a picture of the outside decorations. :( I had Reed's easel outside and it had written on it "Welcome to Reed's Art Party!" There were also aprons for everyone.
Photo Booth!
All the little guest, got to choose an apron
Making frames!
Making bags!
Making necklaces!
Time to sing Happy Birthday to the Birthday Boy!
Blowing out the candles!
Picture with the Birthday Boy!
Telling school friends bye! Reed had 20 friends at the party between church friends and school friends.
We requested no presents at the party, but several friends brought gifts anyway and Reed couldn't wait to open them!
He loved this bubble blower as you can see! :)
A few pictures with the grandmas, before heading home!

We can't leave out baby brother....he loves a mirror! :)
I still can't believe my first baby is 3! Reed had an amazing birthday, thanks to everyone that made it so special! Sorry for the picture overload, I had a hard time narrowing them down!
