Christopher's 3rd Birthday

Hard to believe it, but our baby's three years old! He had a great day! We all got to spend the day together. It started by opening a couple presents...
Followed by a breakfast of champions...donuts...with sprinkles, of course...

Followed by opening an obscene amount of presents throughout the day...

This card is as big as I am!

He got to have lunch at quite possibly his favorite place to dine - "the chicken nugget slide place," also known as McDonald's (with an indoor PlayPlace).

Enjoying the PlayPlace...

Happy to have a cupcake after dinner (the only cupcake allowed to be eaten before his party the next day)...

Finishing out the day by opening the last of his presents. What a haul!

He really had a great day - thanks to all of you for thinking of him!

Zoo!

Almost 70 degrees and only halfway through March? We're off to the zoo!


Last time we were at the zoo, he was a little scared of being this close to the lions...not this time...

Checking out the elephants...

Checking out the bird exhibit (an indoor exhibit, but he refused to take off his sunglasses)...

Checking out the gorillas...

Goofin' around on the drums...

I think we've said before...no trip to the zoo is complete without ice cream. This is Christopher trying to explain to me why he shouldn't have to share the ice cream cone and that I should get my own...

Yum!

He offered the peacock some of his ice cream (oh sure, share with the peacock and not Mom)...

You know it's a good day when this is what he looks like at the end...

Three shirts

He put on three layers of shirts. Why? Because four would be a bit excessive, don't you think?

"I'm just helping"

Brian was replacing my sideview mirror (because as he tells Christopher, "Mommy is prone to hitting inanimate objects with her car") and Christopher decided help was needed. What he lacks in helpfulness, he makes up for in enthusiasm.


He found a pair of my gloves in the car and decided "work gloves" were needed for the job.

"Are you questioning my methods here, mom?"

What about replacing a sideview mirror requires digging in nearby dirt with a drill? Don't have the first clue.

"I think I hear my name being called. Someone needs me...there is more work to be done!"

Just another day at the park...

We were lucky enough to have another nice day to enjoy the park together...

Hard at work...

Christopher's been busy at work with all his tools shoved in his tool belt. He tells us he's going to his "work job" to "fix something." Not sure what he's trying to fix, but I bet by the time he's done, something will indeed need to be fixed...

Spring will be here soon!

Just a couple days into March and Spring seems like it's not too far away. It's beautifully sunny here and in the low 60's. Great day for playing at the park and getting some fresh air!

P.S. See my new Bronchos hat?
