Brady's 3rd birthday!

Whew! We had a big weekend! I've got lots to blog about, and I'll start with Brady's 3rd birthday last Thursday, September 22. What a fun day it was!

I decorated the bottom of the staircase (Just like I did here last year!) and when he came down bright and early on his birthday morning (think pre-6am), he ran over to the side of our bed and said "I got balloons! Did you see the balloons?!"

We had breakfast pancakes and bacon, which was a great idea in theory but in real-life was lots of crying and spilling and whining... Oh well, here's proof that at least somebody enjoyed it:

;)

After breakfast we met Courtnie, Jake and Drew at Wonder Wild (an indoor play area), then went to Courtnie's house for lunch and cupcakes.

When Daddy got home from work we opened a few presents and facetimed Koko and Aunt Jade/Uncle Drew so that they could watch Brady open their presents.

Of course, Walker just ate the wrapping paper...

This is about the best we can do for a picture these days...!

We asked Brady what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said "calantes" (Escalantes), because he likes the queso there. So off we went! He ate chips and queso for dinner and followed it up with a little Tres Leches, which was delish!

The server gathered a few of her coworkers and they all came over to sing Happy Birthday to our boy. He was a little unsure at first but ended up loving it! When they left he said, "Wow. That was a big hat."

Walker loved the cake and was pretty unhappy when it was finished...

We got home from dinner and put Walker down for bed, then let Brady stay up late to get some extra play time in.

And a couple other random pictures that I'm including here simply because they were taken on Brady's birthday...
