Happy 3rd Birthday, Hunter!!!

Look who turned 3 on Tuesday, January 26!!!

He's such a big boy now... he's wearing new jeans from dad & Aunty Sasha, a new shirt and his new Thomas the Tank Engine backpack (thanks, Janet) while speeding along on his bike! He really is a good bike rider... and he LOVES it!!!

As part of his special day, Hunter got to go out to lunch with daddy & Edu - just the guys!!! You can tell by that cheesy grin of his he thought this was pretty cool!!!


Not only did he get to eat a cheeseburger and some shake, but they ordered a waffle too!!! WOW.. Hunter was living it up!!!

When I asked him last week what he wanted to do for his birthday, all he said was "eat cake with candles and sing happy birthday Hunter" - so I had a few of his friends come over to do just that in the afternoon (fat chance for a nap after all the preivous excitement). It was perfect timing - 4-5pm... singing, cake eating, opening presents, hugging & thanking, playing with new toys, saying good-bye!!!

He ripped into his presents - our friends are so generous... thanks everyone for the books, coloring book, puzzles and this airport!!! He's been reading and playing with all of it all week.

Hugs for his buddies

And it was a regular Tuna Noodle Casserole Tuesday night dinner, but he was so excited from the day's activities that he didn't eat as much as usual... but we told him he had to eat before he could open the big box of presents that came from California...

These two have plenty to fight over... I mean practice sharing... now...

And to finish off the night, he listened to "Twas the Night Before Christmas" as read by his Grandpa in CA (cool book, mom & dad!!!)... Phew... what a day! What a boy! We really are so grateful for this gift of Hunter!!! He is a joy! He has a great sense of humor and his laugh is contagious... he loves people and tries to make them feel welcome in his home... he's our little man and we love him so much! Happy birthday, Hunter!!!!
