moose man turns 3

This was such a fun birthday! Unlike his first and second birthdays, Amos has been talking about it for a few weeks and looking forward to what he was going to do and who he was celebrating with. He even had specific food and present requests. In fact, the lucky boy got to celebrate twice. With how the 5th fell this year, we decided to postpone his party until the 12th so that more friends could come. But that didn't stop us from celebrating as a family on the actual date.

He woke up to balloons and really wasn't too sure what that was all about.

He quickly found the presents and thought it was time to open them up too!

Later, Nana and Papa and Grammy and Gramps surprised by coming for the birthday dinner and bringing presents. What could be better than having both sets of grandparents (almost) all to yourself.

It didn't take him long to want to try out all his new stuff.

Per request, we had pizza and macaroni and cheese for dinner. Followed by cake and homemade icecream.

But that wasn't the end of our celebrating. After waiting a whole long week, we celebrated all over again. Amos was OK with that. Although he was a little disappointed when he found out he wasn't turning four at this party, he had to wait the entire year.

If you've been around Amos much, you know his bike is one of his favorite things. May have something to do with how much Dad likes bikes, but it made it easy to come up with an idea for his party. We invited all his friends over for a bike race.

Here they are energizing up!
