Wade's 3rd Birthday

No longer do I have three boys under three...my big boy turned three on January 30th! We had his party scheduled for the same day, but it had to be pushed back to Sunday due to poor weather conditions. Saturday evening, John and I took Wade to Chick-Fil-A. It was pouring rain, but they have an indoor play area. He loved it! When it was time to go, he wasn't too happy, but we promised we would come back. We then took him to his very first movie, Chipmunks, The Squeakquel. Because my son has super hearing, it was a little loud at first, but once he got use to it, he settled in. John held Wade through most of the movie because he wasn't heavy enough to keep the seat from bouncing back up. I'm sure we'll be at the movies one day in the very near future and I'll think about that and wish that was still the case. He loved the movie! Towards the end, he was dancing around in the aisle.

Like I mentioned before, Wade's party was pushed back to Sunday due to rainy weather. It turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day, but boy was it cold! The parents froze, but luckily, the kids barely noticed. Leading up to Wade's bday, I would ask what kind of party he wanted and he consistently said he wanted a tractor party. Mom found this place called Thompson Farm & Nursery and it turned out to be the perfect place. They had tractors, a play area, petting zoo, hayride, blow-up castle and more. I think the kids had a great time and most importantly, Wade loved it! For party favors, the kids got to make their own birdfeeder out of a pinecone, peanut butter and birdseed. We had so many activities crammed into our two hour party time that we ended up opening the gifts at home. It was like Christmas all over again, but this time it was all about Wade. He couldn't have been happier! He did get to open his gift from Mom, Dad, John and me at the party...his John Deere Gator!! He's in love. He rides it everyday after school. I hope it lasts long enough for all the boys to enjoy it. All in all, the party was great! A lot of people turned out despite the cold weather and a good time was had by all. Thank you to everybody for coming and for being a part of our lives. We love you all!
