... which has changed so quickly into that of a smiling and laughing 3 year-old!
Our little guy (sorry, "big boy" as he would correct me) was just as excited as we were to celebrate his birthday. We started talking about his birthday after Christmas and he was pretty specific with his "vision" for the big day.
He wanted to have his party at home "with lots of trucks." He wanted to have his cousins and "friend Graham" at the celebration. And he wanted presents ... lots of them. He consistently made the same requests over a few days so we got to work on his party planning.
The big day arrived and Cael spent time inspecting the assortment of trucks at his party ...
... as well as checking out the cupcakes that arrived via car transporter.
He enjoyed all of the balloons (especially Sulley, of course!) ...
... and the variety of sugary treats (even I was shocked at the Dum Dum double-fisting),
but the real excitement was waiting for Cael in the front yard.
He LOVED the bounce house and could not get enough of its slide ... maybe the excessive sugar was helpful in fueling his endless bouncing and climbing!
Everybody got in on the bounce house action. Zac might have had the most fun of everyone in there and even the grandmothers enjoyed themselves!
Cael loved his birthday party and the time with family but the fun didn't end there. The birthday boy got to pick where we would have dinner on his actual birthday. He considered Benihana for awhile and Chick Fil A was definitely in the running, but in the end he selected gourmet pizza (hint of sarcasm).
He loved the rides, games, food and quality time with Chuck E Cheese himself.
We finished of the big day with a few presents and lots of hugs and kisses.
Zac and I are so thankful for our son and although we loved celebrating his birthday, each day with Cael is a gift (even in the midst of his epic 3 year-old tantrums). Happy Birthday, sweet buddy!
