::carolina cousins::: happy THREE to henry

last weekend, saturday to be exact, we had a day full of celebration for our little man turning three. it is so crazy that three years has already passed by. way too quickly in our eyes! we started the morning off with a breakfast date of pancakes & sausage (his favorite) & then came home to open up family presents. after the MANY presents were opened & enjoyed for a bit we took our last big step of the year & gave away our "bubbies" (pacis). henry has known for a few months that "big boys" or 3 years olds, don't use bubbies any more. henry decided that our new twin friends logan and cate really needed his bubbies so we packed them in a plastic bag & headed to the walters house! it took a few minutes while we were there to give up the bag, but thank goodness logan got a little fussy so henry could see that he really needed it! he has done very well without them- only asking for them a handful of times- but it will be interesting to see what he does when they come back out in 5 weeks for baby sister/brother :).

anyways- later in the day we took just a few friends to plaza fiesta and burned off some crazy energy. i think they all had a blast & were officially worn out when the night was over!

happy three little buddy! you are the sunshine of our lives!!

(by the way- the auburn jersey is worn at least once a week. he would wear it every day and sleep in it if i would let him. it tends to be "in the wash" quite often)
