Simon turned three last Wednesday and we celebrated that morning with waffles and birthday candles. Bryan had to be away from home overnight that night so we planned his birthday party for the following Saturday. I'm 32 weeks pregnant now and promised myself I wouldn't go overboard with the planning of his party and would try to keep it small. But the night before, I stayed up till midnight hanging the Kung Fu Panda themed decor and straightening the house. When I finally hobbled to bed, I couldn't quiet my mind thinking of all the things I wanted to do to make the party special the following morning. I couldn't wait to hear his reaction when he walked in the kitchen and saw all the streamers and balloons but he beat me to it when morning arrived. I heard him downstairs begin to say hello to his daddy when he discovered the festive decor hung just for him. It went something like this, "Morning Da–ooooooo! Boootiful!" He was so pleased which made it all worthwhile for me.In attendance was Mimi who made the trip up to celebrate as well as Grandma and Papa. Elliott Hunt and Jodi Hertz came and Elijah was there too. Amie Fox showed up just in time for some cupcakes and ice cream. The Vetter kids were supposed to be there as Elisha has become such a pal of Simon's but the girls have chicken pox and so they had to stay home. We missed them but the party was a real success. Simon and Ella had lots of play time with Elliott and then we had lunch
(Simon's favorites: tomato soup and grilled cheese + veggies with ranch dip) and topped it all off with homemade chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting and rocky road ice cream. We opened gifts and took lots of pictures. Simon got a really cool game from Elliott, a lego firetruck set from Grandma and Papa, and we got him a really cool remote controlled car with big rubber wheels that flips over when it runs into the wall.It was a really nice birthday and Simon had a great time. I don't regret going overboard one bit! I love you Simon!
