Happy 3rd Birthday Buddy!!!
We decorated his chair on the morning of his birthday with a Bubble Guppies theme that he loved!!
Then that night we took him to Red Robin for a real birthday dinner...He had a blast!!
Now for the party...
we decided to have everyone meet at Chuck E. Cheese the Saturday before his birthday (the 25th) and let the kids run around like wild creatures...Freddie was in HEAVEN!! Since I have this thing with making and decorating cupcakes and cakes, I decided to try something fun and new for his birthday and this was what we ended up with.
At the time I was slightly disappointed with the Lightning McQueen on the cake, but looking at the pictures now I think it looks, well, rather awesome!!! Freddie thought it was the coolest thing ever and even the adults thought it was pretty neat. That made me happy!
When it was time to blow out the candles and eat some cake we practically had to drag the kids back to the table, they were having so much fun playing games. Luckily we were able to get Freddie to stop and at least not cry while he blew out his candles and we sang. The minute we were done he went right back to his games.
Then later that night we went back to Grandma and Grandpas to do the one thing Freddie enjoyed more than Chuck E. Cheese - opening his presents.
He had a blast and Karyl just couldn't help herself, she had to find a way to weasel her way in and "help" him...I guess that's what big sisters are for, right??
No. this isn't a picture of Freddie...nor was it taken on his birthday...but it was taken the same weekend and since she's not in any other pictures consider it a little treat!!
I don't have a reason for posting this picture other than sharing that Freddie's Aunties had given him this cool Monster Truck card that had punch out trucks and a ramp to play with...and he played with those trucks until the cardboard they were printed on totally came apart. He loved it!!
Happy 3rd Birthday to our Big Little Guy -
I know everyone always makes a list of all the things their kid can do on their birthday, but he's old enough that I don't think we need to drag that on to here...so I'll just say that he amazes us everyday. Karyl is always trying to teach him something new, and he is constantly spitting out new things he's learned. I learned just the other day that he knew all the numbers up to 20, I had no idea! He already knows all the letter sounds and has sounded out a few CVC words (CAT, DOG). It's amazing how quickly they go from little babies to big boys like this. Freddie, you're all boy...you have nothing but blood and testosterone flowing in your veins. But, despite the ER visits I'm sure we'll be having as you get older and the worry ulcers you'll give your mom, you and your dad are going to have SOOOO much fun doing all the man things and you'll be amazing at it all!!
We love you Buddy!!
