THREE

JAMES TURNED THREE
He doesn't like getting his hands dirty!
 
Sometimes when you are in the midst of raising your own children some things are just what they are and you may not remember some particular things about them. When I showed my sister the pictures of James not wanting to get his hands dirty she said "Adam was the same way!"

Then he tried his fork.
Adam, James and Gabby.

The theme was construction trucks.
Papa made the cupcakes and James' personal cake. 
I helped with the sprinkles and signs.

He had a fun time at his party. He went in the pool with his cousins and a few adults. We had beautiful trays of sandwiches, macaroni salad and lots of great snacks to munch on. 

When it came time to open his presents he opened the first one and then he didn't want to open any others He wanted to play with his new Thomas the Train set. So we waited and convinced him to try another. Of course the same thing happened, he just wanted to play with the new toy. 

As it turned out we eventually stopped and our presents that we brought were saved and opened up 3 days later when we visited again with Amber and Dylan before they left the next day for Montana. 

So he got another little cake and we sang happy birthday to him on Tuesday night. 

He definitely had a great time with Aunt Amber and Uncle Dylan in town. It breaks my heart that they don't get to see him as often as we do. Yes we do zoom so he remembers their faces but it's not the same. 

We also took some family group photos to hopefully use on a Christmas card this year!

What a beautiful family picture! I can't put my finger on it, but James is looking so much more like a young boy than a baby. Time is a thief!
