EJ's Third Birthday Party

EJ's actual Birthday is not until this Wednesday, but we held his party this weekend at Chuck E Cheese. His friends Brady and Katie were able to come along with their parents. Paco's Mom, Dad and brothers, Joe and Dan, were also in town and able to attend. I think young and old alike had a great time playing all the games and crawling through the overhead tunnels. We enjoyed some pizza, presents and cake. Thanks to all who could attend for making EJ's third birthday a memorable one! Many pictures and posts follow this one so be sure to check out all the fun.

Playing with Birthday Presents

Birthday presents had to be opened pretty much as soon as we got home today. Daddy has already had to make a run for AAA batteries, but everything is working great and getting played with a ton!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I have really started to get into the spirit of the holiday season and have been looking forward to putting up our tree and decorations. EJ is at such a great age to see the wonder of the holidays and was very excited to help decorate the Christmas tree. Paco and I did learn one valuable lesson though. Make sure you set the tree up the night before while the almost three year old is sleeping and let him decorate in the morning. If I heard "Is it time to put the ornaments on yet?" once I heard it 50 times :) Happy Holidays Everyone!

EJ just put the first ornament on the tree--his very special glitter ornament he made in art class
