happy monkey day to you...part one...

jackson.  you are three.  stop it right now.  i'm serious.

 

your birthday party theme request?  monkey party...monkey cake.  easy enough.

 

you started your day by sneaking--which was pretty hard to do since mommy covered the hallway with streamers--downstairs and opening your presents.  not ALL of them...but some of them.  stinker.  you got a "puter" from granna and papa and could. not. wait. until someone helped you take it out of the box.

 

 

it was all you wanted to play with.  best. present. ever.

 

zoey got you play-doh and play-doh tools.  also a big hit...

 

monkey hat!!!  there were also monkey tails, but you wouldn't wear them...

 

play-doh and color books...fun, fun, fun!!!

 

zoey, granna brought you the cutest monkey dress and since the theme for the day was MONKEY PARTY you had to wear it...

 

after presents, we went to monkey joe's...or...as you like to call it "jo-jo monkey's"...

 

you climb up all by yourself...the BIGGEST slides...and show NO FEAR coming down...

 

after about ten minutes, you were a sweaty mess...

 

you with jo-jo monkey himself...

 

zoey wanted nothing to do with him...cried everytime he came out...

 

so. much. fun.

popsicle lickers...

strictly an outdoor activity...

 

 

cause popsicle lickin' is MES-SY!!!

 

LOVE your sweet faces!!!  so much!!!
