Richie's 3rd Birthday

Yesterday, August 2nd was Richie's birthday. Since there isn't a whole lot you can do on Sunday we had a party on Saturday. I have not yet been brave enough to invite kids Richie's age and have a party, so I invited a couple of my friends and their families. We went swimming at the Anthem Community Center, had a barbeque at my mom's house, and opened presents and had cake. You can see how ambitious I am. I decided to decorate his cake, which I should have done the day before. Being pregnant I am always tired. By the time I got the the cake I didn't care, which is why it looks interesting. I needed to make more frosting, but didn't muster-up the energy to do so.


Dinner went great and Richie loved blowing out the candles at his party. We had a Cars theme, as it is his favorite show. Richie is still figuring out the whole present opening thing. As soon as he gets one open he wants to play with it, but everyone is urging him to open other presents. Maybe next year he'll get into it.

Richie got a doctor kit and a foam puzzle ABC and 123's from Grandma & Grandpa Jones. He, also, got a new Cars Movie, a Cars T-shirt, and some bath toys from Mom & Dad.

On Sunday at church he got a green crown to celebrate his birthday. We went to my parents' house for dinner and to play some games. What a great birthday weekend!!! Happy Birthday 3-year old!!!
