Peter's Third Birthday

Peter got a birthday package from his Grandma a few days before his birthday. He was so excited to have a package. It had two presents in it; he thought one was for him and the other for Eddie. Sweet boy! Grandma sent Peter some Little People for his birthday; he and Eddie love playing with them. Peter always closes his eyes when he's fake smiling.

Making the funfetti cake.

Tasting the fruit of his labor.

Peter got to open his present from Eddie the night before his birthday. Eddie showed it to him, and I just couldn't make him wait to the next day to open it. He's super excited about his little action figures of the Iron Fist and the Black Spiderman.

We began Peter's birthday at Donut Kingdom, where he got to choose two donuts! He was in heaven rotating bites between his two donuts.

This year we did the birthday decorations the days of Peter's birthday, rather than me doing them the night before. Eddie especially enjoyed decorating. Peter and Eddie loved having balloon fights.

The presents seemed to be a success, I was happy to see. Peter got this Imaginext RoboCop, combining his love for robots and action figures. Unfortunately that door would never stay closed.

I love how every time we told him to hold up a present for us to take a picture he would cover his face with the present and then fake smile. :)

Peter was really excited to get a Woody action figure but immediately asked for Jesse and Woody's horse. Sorry to disappoint, Pete-ch!

I put Peter's cake together and frosted it the day of Peter's birthday, also something I used to always do before the actual day. All of the white frosting was put on by me while I was holding Creegan. I am sure you can't tell. ; ) Peter and Eddie decorated the robot. Eddie insisted it have three eyes; Peter was cool with that.

The finished product


After dinner our friends came over for cake and brought Peter this cool present. You can see how excited Peter is about it; look at that huge smile!!!

He sang "Happy birthday to you", along with the rest of us. He sings it so cute. He never really understood it was his birthday. Every time you'd say happy birthday to him, he would wish us a happy birthday, too. Every present he got, he asked Eddie permission to open; he thought they were all for Eddie. He didn't get it, but he had a fun day!

Blowing out the candles, you could visibly see the spit coming out of his mouth! Yum!

Eating his cake with his hands. He ended up putting his cake on a separate plate from his icecream. He'd selected his own plate, but I had already dished up his cake and icecream on a different plate, so he moved his cake to the plate he had chosen and kept his icecream on his original plate.

We had a really fun birthday! I am so happy this adorable little boy is my son Peter!
