The Birthday Boy

Yes, it has been almost a full month since his 3rd birthday....guess that makes me a bad mommy :( My camera died just after people started arriving so needless to say, I hardly had any pictures of the birthday party fun! So thankfully several friends and family members donated some to us :) Note to self- always charge the camera before the big events!!!

Lucas had a wonderful 3rd birthday bash surrounded by so many family members and great friends. He is very lucky to have so many great people in his life who love him so much! The kiddos all had fun playing outside, chowing down on yummy snacks and birthday cake, and "helping" Lucas open all of his birthday presents.
Of course I am in complete disbelief that my sweet little boy is already 3. I know that EVERYONE says it but life had really flown by since he entered our lives. We are trying our best to soak it all in and enjoy every minute (yes- that includes the good and the not so good)that we are blessed to be his mommy and daddy. Here is a little look back at the last few birthdays for a good comparison followed by pictures of his special day!

Opening birthday presents- wow, I think even Lucas got overwhelmed with this process too! He looked at me once and frantically and asked if we were done yet. But I know he loved having everyone there, maybe we'll institute a special birthday chair next time :)
