Heart Happy 3rd Birthday Alexander Micheal!

Today my baby turns 3! I can't believe it! Lots of mixed emotions and thoughts of his birth mom in Russia. (Alex was her 4th child...3rd baby in 3 years and she tried to parent him...but decided it was best for all that he be placed. I can't imagine!)

Anyway, we are celebrating tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday...long story as to why (can you say SIL got me again?)

The 4 of us are celebrating tonight...I ordered him a McQueen cake (I'll post pics later) and of course the theme is Cars...he did get his main gift this morning...think he was thrilled? We were outside before 8am. We have been talking about this car for weeks, he was so excited...it is battery operated and the radio even works. He even shared with his sister...what a shocker.




HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY BOY!!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

Holly Cow, Karen! What ever happened to the cute little 'Flintstones' car that had the bright yellow top and red bottom? Of course there was the whole at the botton where you ran your feet to get it to move. My DH saw a John Deere tractor like car for kids yesterday and asked if he could get it......you know, just anticipating the baby would want it when he gets older. ha!

Congrats to Alex and have a fun weekend!
