Every year my aunties send my children birthday cards. Here he is so excited to open his birthday cards the morning of his birthday.
He really loves popcorn and so we bought him a couple different kinds.
His oldest sister got him gussied up for the occasion
Here he is with his siblings and special guests having a pre dinner snack
Corn on the cob and popcorn!!!!
His grandparents friends and siblings look on as he opens his gifts..or is helped to open them! Look at that couch!!! I have had it for fourteen years and it was probably a third hand gift. It is STILL holding on. I usually have it covered but wow!!!
His sister and friend graciously assisted in the gift opening
His name sake, my dad, brought him his blueberry cake that he had specifically requested so mommy made. Everyone is singing and my oldest is videotaping the moment.
He is so excited to blow those candles out and he blew all three out at once!
And this is us at the end of a long day. I am nursing him to sleep like I have almost every night for the three years he has been on this earth.
Children are the most precious gifts. That might not be the general consensus out there in the world, but don't kid yourself. Every single child is a treasure and a gift and I am so so so SO thankful that I have been gifted my four. I hope for more I really do. Happy birthday my sweet boy!!!!!
