Z's third birthday party went off without a hitch. All the kids (most of whom are pictured here) wore their PJs and chowed down on whipped cream-laden pancakes and Hello Kitty waffles before we brought out a coffee cake with candles and sang Happy Birthday.Our amazing babysitter Paula helped the kids create necklaces with Fruity Cheerios and stamp designs onto pillowcases, which they got to take home.
What worked? It was early, so all the kids were at their best. The novelty of wearing their jammies out of the house was really appealing to these 2 and 3-year-olds. The food was easy to prepare and kept everyone happy. I didn't waste any money on the Made in China goodie bag crap I hate so much. And it was all over by 11:30!

What a fun idea. When I first saw the photo I thought you'd had them all sleep over! ...lololol.
My boys would love to wear there jammies out. I might have to steal that idea....
Looks like the jammies were a hit! I think you have started a trend, as all of us are going to steal your idea. The kids look adorable and Z's smile is just too much!
Sounds perfect. I have been wanting to offer the necklace making activity, but couldn't figure out what sort of thread/shoelace/cord to use that would work for barely 3-year old motor skills? What did you use?
