We had lots of fun on Saturday. Our little monkeys turned 3 and had a monkey birthday party. Here are some photos of the big event.
Our invitations
The monkey decorations
Owen looking at the monkey centerpiece. Behind Owen is the "pin the banana on the tree" game. The child who got a banana closest to the monkey won the game. 
Owen, Tyson, and Henry waiting for the guests to arrive (notice Henry and Owen's Curious George shirts and Henry's monkey hat) 
I made cute monkey cupcakes instead of a cake. We also had do-it-yourself banana splits. Yum!
Lots of party-goers! We had 9 children in attendance, including Owen and Henry, ranging in ages from 2 to 9 (well, I guess we also had 2 babies there--so 11 children!). The kids made masks and danced like monkeys to a monkey CD Tyson made, played hot monkey (instead of hot potato), and pin the banana on the tree. Everything went well except dancing like monkeys (I was the only one dancing, so that was a little embarrassing).

For party favors, we had Curious George gift bags with little Curious George toys, candy, copies of Tyson's monkey music CD, and a Curious George birthday coloring page.
It was lots of work (I don't think I'll be quite as ambitious next year), but we all had a wonderful time. We wish you could've joined us!

Happy Birthday Henry & Owen! Gus and I have thought about you everyday and have intended to call but haven't gotten to it yet. Looks like an awesome party! We too wish we could have been there. I could have danced with you!
Nicki, that looks like so much fun! I can't believe how big Henry and Owen look. They really look 3! What lucky kids to have such a fun mama!
Those cupcakes look tasty.
When are you going to visit so Tyson and I can ski?
