Happy 3rd Birthday Abel!

Our 3 year old!!

Abel had his 3rd Birthday on Nov. 30th. I cannot believe I am the mother of a 3 year old!

We celebrated a little bit this morning before Dad went to work (had all but one present opened before 6 am....jealous? :).
Here he is opening some presents....

Shirt and pants from Uncle Nick and Aunt Kelly!

A tractor from Grandma Beda! Dad enjoys this one too:)

Abel's surprised face. :)

Green eggs!!

Dad made breakfast that morning...green eggs (Sam he is!) and pink pancakes...we got food coloring for making his birthday cupcakes yesterday and now he wants everything dyed!

This year was a lot of fun. We decorated with a few balloons on his bedroom door and decorated the table and his chair...he was very excited when he woke up and saw the decorations. A little more of a reaction this year than last.

Abel and Woody!

After breakfast we gave him his present from us. It was all Dad's idea:). When we were at Disneyland at the beginning of the month he suggested that we buy Abel a Woody doll. We were able to keep it hidden from him and he was quite surprised to open it. He didn't put it down the whole day (except nap, bathroom, and church). He loves it and it even had to be put on the top bunk to go to sleep tonight. :)

We also celebrated at church with cupcakes that Abel and I made. Abel picked the different colors to make the frosting and we made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. It was a fun thing for us to do together. Abel had more fun trying all the different colors of frosting than actually making them, but what can you expect! (it was tasty!) Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes and Abel got a few presents from people at church. All in all I think it was a pretty fun 3rd birthday!
Here he is eating a cupcake with all the leftover frosting, multi colored cupcake! Yum:).

It is odd to think that 3 years ago he was just my little baby and now he can walk and talk and run (and sass a bit...). He is so much fun to have around and even in his 3 short years has been such a blessing and comfort to us.









 


Here we are with our little Abel!
