My sweet baby boy, you turned 3 this weekend! Sadly, you were diagnosed with strep throat on Friday afternoon, so our day full of fun parties and family did not get to happen since you were contagious, but we made the most of it and postponed your party for two weeks. On Saturday, we tried to fill your newly free day with your favorites - pancakes, new golf clubs, and play time in the backyard. We went and picked up your $40 worth of balloons we had paid for in advance (and couldn't cancel), too, so the backyard looked extra festive.

After lunch and naps, we played a little more at home, went to Rosa's for dinner, and then enjoyed a few of the 40 cupcakes I had baked for the party. (Bitter? Me? Not at all...)

Finally...the time had come...your daddy took you to play golf! On the GOLF COURSE! You were seriously giddy and BEYOND excited the whole time.

The next day, you were no longer contagious, so we had some serious catching up to do! We headed down to Gammy and Doc's house first to spend the morning with your Wade cousins who had come in town for your birthday! FINALLY! You got some great gifts and enjoyed playing with Pearson and sweet Owen. We went swimming and then caught a quick power nap in the car before dinner with Liam, Grant, Chase, Sarah, and Gramma Pat.  

Given the circumstances, I think we definitely made the most of it! And now, we have ANOTHER celebration to look forward to in 10 days! Woohoo! Happy birthday, sweet boy! XO!
