Stephen's 3rd Birthday

Stephen turned 3 on November 5th! He had an exciting few days leading up to his birthday party on Saturday. He had a blast sharing his birthday with his family and friends. Here is just a little snapshot of his festivities.



The cake...


He spent his actual birthday-day at school. These are his classmates and one of his teachers, Miss Wendi (it was her birthday too).


After school, the three of us went to the toy store to pick out a birthday toy. We were worried that he might go for the really expensive toys...nope. All he wanted was two little wind up cars:)


Here he is. How many more years will we only have to spend $13?:)


Our next stop was Rain Forest Cafe. Yep, my brilliant idea...My students tried to warn me that "it's scary there!" As you can see from the death-grip he has on Daddy and the eyes wide open, he wasn't a fan. So.....


We headed to Claim Jumper for dinner and some mint chip mud pie. Much better!


As far as presents, tractors seemed to be the main theme...


Happy as can be. Cars and dinosaurs were a close second.


The part he'd been waiting for all week--CAKE!


Didn't waste a single lick:)


Loves his cake!


He finished the night off playing with his cousins and his girlfriend Alayna. That's the new Spider Man scooter from Grandma Renee and Papa Chiaki.


And lastly, the next morning. He tested out all of his new toys and rode the scooter outside really well for the first time:)


It was a great week! I can't believe he is 3 already! I keep telling him to stop growing, but he tells me, "I can't. I have to get big and strong like Daddy!" Thank you for sharing in Stephen's birthday!
