a veggie tales birthday!

we celebrated Mr. Rhys' THIRD birthday this past weekend! It was veggie-tastic!
rhys absolutely loves Veggie Tales so i knew it would be the perfect theme for his birthday! after scouring pinterest, i realized there wasn't many creative ideas because Veggie Tales isn't all that popular! but, we made it work and i think it turned out awesome!

my wonderful mother-in-law made the cake pops (as usual) and they turned out AWESOME! she even took the time to roll little clay peas!

husband decorated the Bob the Tomato cake and i think it turned out perfect. we ran into a little snafu with the nose, but we brainstormed and decided to soak a ping pong ball in red food coloring and ta-da ... it looked perfect!

found from pinterest - green iced twinkies decorated as Larry the Cucumber!

as for the rest of the food - we just did fruit and veggies (of course!) and ordered pizza - which was "Bob the Tomato Pizza!" :) 

and we were even able to sing happy birthday without incident this year! ;)

over all, it was a great 3rd birthday party for Mr. Rhys. He got lots of Veggie Tale toys and also lots of Ninja Turtle!

 Happy birthday to my favorite 3 year old! :)

my middle baby is going to turn three next month - ah! 

the only thing i've gotten accomplished: invites created. [not printed or mailed!]

cute, huh!? i'm pretty proud.

as for the other details, here's what i'm planning:

cake pops - i know rhys' grandma can easily nail these!!!

don't know if i'll bag them like this - but definitely veggie sticks! 

thinking i'll do something like this for a 'cake'. seems to be the easiest option!
