My son loved Knights which came from the TV show Mike the Knight. It was his wish for his 3rd birthday to have a Knights birthday party. The ideas came quite quickly and I did some research and came up with some great ideas. I had the idea to make a castle out of ply wood. It was great on the day but it has been stuck inside ever since the party.
About a week before the party Gabriel fractured his leg. We certainly tried extra hard to make it a special day. But I don't think in years to come that he will think about the party and think he had a broken leg.

| Pledge Allegiance to the yellow or blue team. It kind of turned out a boy and a girl team with a couple of exceptions |
I made hobby horses from brown paper bags and a pole. They were time consuming, but once I had realized that I need to keep going or I would have wasted my time.
The sword was a problem, I didn't want anything dangerous so the balloon sword was the perfect alternative.

| Articus the dragon was my starting point. He is a paper mache dragon, He was just screwed up newspaper and he looked quite cute in the end |
The family crest and our favorite dragon poem "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup".
 |
| The knights castle was to be the main attraction. |

| Ariticus the dragon as a photo booth |
 |
| A very simply castle cake, a square chocolate cake chocolate and oreos... can't get much easier than that |
The canopy over the top looked great and added to the affect. I was very pleased that it fitted inside.
 |
| The catapults were set up with a target to aim at |
 |
| Gabriel turning three with his broken leg. |
 |
| Dragon tears for each party goer... each had a special power |
 |
| What is a knights party without a quest. |
