Yip Yipee, Look Who's Three!!!

Benjamin turned 3 years old today!!! We celebrated him all day starting with morning kisses and hugs and tickles, doughnuts at Happy Doughnuts, a visit to the playground with some good friends, lunch at McDonald's and more playing with friends, lots of phone calls from loved ones, present opening stretched out over the entire day with breaks to thoroughly play with each new toy, a big bike ride, his pick - a yummy spaghetti dinner (3 years running now :)), balloons and streamers and happy birthday signs, a silly cake (he wanted, but still didn't want to eat... once again 3 years running :)), family movie night and a indoor camp out!!!

He's just the cutest, sweetest, smartest, funniest, chattiest, cuddliest three year old we know and we're so very thankful and blessed that he's a part of our family! We can't imagine how much joy this next year will bring and love looking back on the special memories of the last!

Here are our favorite pictures from the day... and stay tuned for a "Benjamin - Snapshot at 3yrs" post coming up!

I'm so EXCITED, it's my birthday!!!

Guess how old I am!?!

Thank you for the painting set Grandma and Grandpa!

And for the cool Operation Game!

And thank you for the cool Lego fire station Omi and PopPop!

Excited that he got the This Is Your Day... CELEBRATE! plate!

He helped make his birthday signs and hang the balloons and streamers! And we decorated the table with all his cards for dinner!

Cake time!
Making a wish...
Blowing out the candles!
