Happy Birthday to Hayden - Part 1

Today is Hayden's 3rd birthday. It's hard for me to believe that he used to be so helpless and little! Here he is at 14 days old.
It's been pretty exciting for us this year b/c he knows that birthdays mean parties and presents. We have been able to lead up to this weekend for a couple of weeks. This morning Hayden woke up at 6, which is really unusual for him. He must have been super excited. I had wrapped his presents last night and had them sitting out on a table, so when we finally made it downstairs the first thing he had to do was open his presents of course!


He did that, then we ate breakfast and noticed a rabbit in our backyard playing with a chipmunk. We've had a rabbit coming and going ever since we moved in. After that, we noticed that there wasn't just 1, there were 3! We have crab-apple trees, so they like to munch on the fallen apples. Apparently, so do chipmunks, b/c we saw a couple of those make off with some apples too!


I headed to the grocery store for a few things, then got back and cleaned a little more. At 11, we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for some birthday fun! Hayden loves that place, and today was no different. It was even more fun since it was his birthday and we sang to him and he got to blow out the candles on a cookie cake. Towards the end he got a little tired, but we made it out with no breakdowns, so it was okay.



When Hayden woke up, Grammy and Deeda were here, so he opened more presents! Saturday is his party at Chick-Fil-A, so it should be fun. I'm making the cake, so I'll be sure to post the pictures!

Give him hugs for us! I hate we'll miss his party. I'll send his gift in the mail.
