Today we had the boys' birthday party. Cameron is going to turn 3 years old tomorrow and next Friday, Trevor will be 1. I can't believe how fast time flies!! Right now, I just can't believe that my baby is going to be 3 years old in just a few hours. When I tucked him in tonight he told me he wanted to be 3 years old now and that he was NOT my "baby." He said he's a big boy. And he is! But, he will always be my baby. It's so different how it feels when you are a parent. My children's birthday's are so much more important and feel so much different than when I have a birthday. I guess it's because I remember the moment they were born and all the feelings that were there....I just can't believe my baby is 3!!!!! Enough rambling....back to the birthday party.
We had Cameron's friends from his babysitters: Grant, Austin, and Caleb, plus his friends that are children of our friends, Wynton, Lucas, his cousin Sam, and our neighbor Bradley. He had so much fun with all the kids. Zach made an obstacle course in the backyard for the boys. We had a pinata and pin the tail on the donkey. The kids seemed to be entertained the entire time and got along pretty well. I thought it was a very successful party. There were no meltdowns. My mom was here and Zach's parents came. We had our small house filled, but luckily it was such a nice day, the kids were able to play outside a lot of the time. The boys all loved the party favors and some punching balloons I got. The only small glitch was that Cameron did not want to open gifts. He just wanted to play with everyone and play outside. He usually loves opening things, but today he was just so excited about the party, he wasn't as into the gifts. Plus, once he started opening things, he wanted to play with them the moment he opened them, so it was hard to move onto the next thing. After everyone left, we finished opening the gifts for the kids. They got so many great gifts that they love and will use for many hours to come. I'm even excited to have some new toys in the house to change things up a bit. Both boys crashed easily tonight. Cameron can't wait to get up in the morning to play with all of his new toys.
Since tomorrow is Cameron's actual birthday, we will do our family celebration. We will give him our gifts and go to church in the morning, then go to the zoo in the afternoon if that's still what he wants to do. It's supposed to be in the 70s, so this is a great chance to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather!
