Happy Birthday William

Last night we were finally able to celebrate William's 3rd birthday. His actual birthday was a couple of weeks ago, but with our schedules during VBS and last week's episode with the stitches we just couldn't quite pull it off. However, the delay only made the anticipation grow for the little guy. I always make my children's birthday cakes, but having a baby any day now but a damper on my excitement of messing up the entire kitchen with cake batter and icing. His only request for his birthday was to have a Chuckie Cheese party with a chocolate Deigo cake. We felt a little sad for the lad because last year he didn't get a party because we were getting things ready in the house for Alden's arrival and we didn't want to repeat the story this year, especially after the saga last week.

We picked up his cake from Kroger yesterday afternoon. He was absolutely precious. He couldn't keep his eyes off it. He woke from his nap and his first request was, "Can I go see my cake?" Daddy picked out his birthday presents: a Go Deigo Go laptop and lunch box. As soon as we turned onto Hurstborne the kids went absolute crazy in the back seat of the vehicle. Jason and I erupted in laughter of their excitement. He had a wonderful time as you can see in the pictures. Alden enjoyed his first cake and ice cream and the girls enjoyed helping William open his presents (since he was having to open them with one hand).
