Brighton's Birthday celebration has lasted almost a month. With all the fall festivals and school parties it seems like there is always a reason to celebrate his birthday, and he doesn't seem to mind one bit!
We had his actual party at Hill Ridge Farms this year. It was a hit and luckily we had GREAT weather for it. While we waited for all the guests to arrive, the kids went crazy running through the pumpkin display. Derek and a few other parents were on street patrol to keep everybody out of the road.
Even Great, Great Aunt Edith joined us (at Brighton's request)
The first thing everybody got to do was a train ride. We haven't been here since before Brighton was born and had never ridden the train. That was a nice treat.
Next it was off for a hayride and a visit to the pumpkin patch. All of the kids started getting upset when we passed the pumpkin patch without stopping, not knowing we were headed to another one! There were actually some nice size pumpkins there and one of them we ended up carving for Halloween.
I decided to make things simple and made cupcakes for all. I borrowed at 36-cupcake carrier and this made things really easy.
Our best attempt of all the children in one spot. There is one where 3 of our 3 boys are looking at the camera, but not many of the other guests are, so I choose this shot as the "best".
Brighton's favorite thing was riding the ponies. He was very excited to do this and insisted on riding the white one. He even waited one extra time so he could have his pick of the ponies. We spent some more time playing at the farm before having a picnic lunch and heading home. What a fun birthday. Happy Birthday Brighton!!
