My Baby is 3!

We had a wonderful birthday celebration weekend.  Savta and Papa came in town and he ate and celebrated so much.

Samuel requested a Pirate party with Mexican food and blue cupcakes.  What could I do but oblige him?! We had a little party with lots of food and fun times.

I can't believe how much Samuel has grown.  He is such a wonderful, loving, smart, independent and strong individual.  I love seeing him grown and change.  He is so beautiful and I love him so much.  I want time to slow down.  I can't believe that 3 years have already gone by.  Each day gets better and better, it isn't any easier but it is wonderful.

Here are pictures from the weekend.



Samuel was King for the day at school for his birthday.  They made him a crown and he loved it.
Samuel was so good at holding up 3 fingers.  We made him a special breakfast on his birthday.  He requested bacon and he ate about 5 slices.




He also wanted cinnamon rolls and insisted to eat them with chopsticks.  Hey, when it is your birthday you get to do what you want.




Pirate Cupcakes
Samuel hanging out with Taylor with their party hats on.  Joseph wants to be like the big kids.
Savta and Samuel
Joseph was getting in on the party action too.
Blowing out his candles
Samuel was so excited about his cupcakes.  He asked for blue cupcakes, so I put blue food coloring in the vanilla cupcakes and he loved it when we took the wrapping off.  
Here he is enjoying his first bite!
Joseph loved the chocolate cupcakes too!
He made quite a mess
Opening gifts.  He got a really cool Pirate puzzle from Dee, Jessica, David and Sydney
Andrea made Samuel an awesome make your own burrito and taco set.  She made it all by hand because she knows how much Samuel loves making his Mexican food.  He has made a burrito every day.  He loves it.  
Papa and Samuel hanging out after the party.  They were both pretty tired. 
Joseph is so independent.  He wants to feed himself all the time.  
and he is really excited about it.  
Posing for the camera
This is his mean look.  It doesn't look that mean, but he really gets into it. 
Samuel got a bike for Hanukkah and Christmas from Savta and Papa and they got him a helmet for his birthday.  He is dying to have a place to ride his bike.  Hopefully soon in the new house.

My favorite photo is when Samuel is looking at the blue cupcake. Awesome face! I'm still eating at least one cupcake a day...not sharing at all. Guess that means I need to add a few extra miles to my running plan this week ;)

Love that you made blue cupcakes and that you TOTALLY made his day by the look on his face. What a great Mom you are!!

That little Joseph is precious, even more so when he makes his 'scary' face!

Glad Samuel had a great birthday and that you have such a wonderful happy 3 year old. Time really does go by so fast!
