Jacob Krieger's Third Birthday

My grandson Jacob turned 3 this week. He chose to have a turtle themed party. Jacob, Ian, and Thomas looking at the turtle cake.


Chris dishing ice cream cones for all the children.


The finished yeast turtles all of the children made. They were put in their gift bags to take home. A nice alternative to candy.

The excitement of birthday presents.




The children made paper turtles with many decorations of stickers and colored paper.




For an activity, the guests had "turtle races". They got under laundry baskets and crawled around on the lawn. The kids enjoyed this wild activity.



As the childrfen arrived, they started with making bread dough turtles. The picture shows the yeast dough turtles before they had a chance to bake.




The lovely turtle cake-chocolate and white with M & M decorations. The guests went home with gift bags that Lockey had prepared in advance. They contained turtle t-shirts that they had made (Lockey got the turtle picture and iron transferred it to each shirt). Also included were toys and snacks.



Jacob and one of his favorites-a balloon. Jacob love the party. I said it was a wonderful party. He repeated in three year old fashion "I had a wonderful party".
