Zachary's 3rd Birthday Party!

We celebrated Zachary's 3rd Birthday yesterday. His REAL birthday is not until September 28th however due to a friends wedding on his birthday weekend we decided to do it a week early. Most of you know this but Zachary's passion is JOHN DEERE TRACTORS so it was only appropriate to have a John Deere Party. We had his party on Sunday September 20th at a local community farm.

Besides tractors, Zachary's other favorite thing is gum. So we decided to give all the party guest green and yellow gumballs.

Singing Happy Birthday to Z Zachary and his best friends: Elliott and Charley


Zachary got so many wonderful presents. One of the sweetest moments of the day was when Zachary opened a pair of John Deere cowboy boots. Immediately he ran over to my dad (aka Poppy) and said, "We have the SAME boots". He loved that he had boots like Poppy.


Part of the party package was a MEET AND GREET with an animal. Once the farm employees saw how excited Zachary was about tractors and farm stuff they asked me if we wanted two animals. Zachary chose the sheep and the miniature pony.
Everyone meeting Marsha the sheep.
