Aidee Turns 3!

It was a fantastic day! This is the first year that he really really got what was happening. He could tell you how old he is (free yeiesh: 3 years), he understood that he had a dinosaur themed party that he picked out, and that he had presents coming his way. To say he has been excited is an understatement.


My friend Rena made this shirt for him. The back story: I told her about how I had seen a t-shirt that just had the number 3 on it at Babies R Us. When I went back to get it, it was gone. She stored this little story away and made this shirt for him. Thanks Rena!

Fun was had by all!! Amelia is big stuff on the slide and so pretty in her party dress.


I am not sure how long the boys played chase with their super huge dump trucks. But it was quite awhile.


Now you think this is a dog door, but it's really a little person door!


They did really well with watering my flowers instead of squirting people. Much better then Bob's oldest brother Frank did, who was attacking family members throughout the night.


Aid is so sad he can't figure out how to stand in the swing like his cousin, who is even more of a monkey then he is if you can possibly believe it.


Auntie Bridgit and cousin Josie, who shares a birthday with Aid. (We celebrated her earlier in the day)

Don't these two (Lexa and Vinny) look like they are on a date??


I just love this picture. They were such a little troop running around the yard.


The madness begins...


Bob is pretty excited!


You can't really go wrong with books and Aid.


See?


Yep, that's our boy!


This one is from us....


Yep! Dinosaurs! This is the moment of realization that even though he didn't get the dinosaurs the moment he saw them and wanted them, dad went back to get them!


The perfect place for the dinos to hang out? A custom made tent from Cairo, Egypt courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa B who traveled there not too long ago!


Grandma and Granda Mac got Aid this water table that he LOVES. He has full stories going on with these animals. It was a hit!


Aid's cake he picked out himself. It was your basic super sugary too thick of frosting dino cake. Every kid needs one!


Look at these sweet peas....Aid sang Happy Birthday to himself! He loves singing Happy Birthday!


Grant was a great little brother....he slept through the present time so Aid had mom and dad's complete attention! Good little brother...


Look how nice and relaxed I look? It's cause I bought the food and cake and Grant took a nap! Now that's how you have a party!

We love you Aidee. 3 years ago you changed the whole world. You are the sweetest, funniest, most head strong little 3 year old I have ever run across. Of course I'm completely biased...but you are the best. You single handedly made us a family. I cannot possibly tell you how much you are loved. I hope you can feel it...
