Happy 3rd Birthday!

Kinda hard to believe that Isaac turned the big 3 today! WOW!

After a rough sleeping night (both of us thinking we saw every after-midnight hour on the clock) Isaac was ready to celebrate his birthday! He was kinda confused by the banner his Mom made, complete with balloons, taped to the front door. He said, "What's that, Mom?" Once he realized what it was, he was very excited.

Next he saw his presents sitting there waiting to be opened. "Can I open it now, Mom?" was heard all day long.

The baseball and football birthday cakes were a bit "hit"! He thought they should be eaten for breakfast.

He loved talking to those who called to wish him a happy birthday. He may not have seemed interested to those who attempted to talk to him, but he was smiling on our end! He also loved the birthday cards he got in the mail. He ripped the envelopes open piece by piece and read each card. He then proudly displayed them on the piano.

When he was finally able to open the presents, after Dad came home, he insisted upon using his toy saw to cut open the paper. (The night before we were talking about opening presents and he rummaged around to find the saw so it was ready for the next day.) He had a great time opening and playing with his gifts, that was until his little brother scooted in to steal them!

Next we set off for Red Robin to eat. Isaac received his free kids meal coupon and couldn't wait to go use it. He got himself a hamburger, baby carrots sticks with ranch, and pop! The pop was his favorite! To top it off, the Red Robin workers came and sang, "Happy Birthday" to him and gave him a free ice cream sundae. It was quite the feast!

We came home and enjoyed some birthday cake with some of Isaac's adult friends. His friends are coming over Friday to party.

It was a good day. God has blessed us with a terrific 3 year old! We still see him as our little boy, but realize when he talks and reasons through things he not so little any more. He may only be three in our eyes, but to him he's going on 14. His new favorite phrase or answer is, "Huh?" Huh, wonder where he got that one...


Happy 3rd Birthday, Isaac! We love you!
