3 years old!

Guess who just turned three!

We had fun celebrating Dawson the week of his birthday.

We started off the day with a Phineas and Ferb birthday card.

It had an inflatable guitar inside!

Then we opened a few presents.

Here he is with some new cars to add to his ever growing collection.

He loved the batman balloons hanging from his door.

Then it was off to IHOP for one of (if not) his favorite meals - PANCAKES!

(We were too busy eating to pose for pictures.)

Of course I had to do a test run of the cupcakes I would be making on

Sunday for his birthday lunch.

They became our after dinner treat. 

  Blow out your candles!

Time for bed, birthday boy.

bedtime story with daddy.

Sunday came...

now to celebrate with friends!

His repeated request was for a Batman cake.

Simple and relatively easy.

I just printed out the batman symbol and traced it on top of

some black (pre made) fondant.

Add his batman figurine to homemade yellow icing...

Wah lah!

A batman cake.

And I must say, it tasted quite amazing!

Chocolate Applesauce Cake with Butter Cream Cheese Icing.

oh. my. goodness.

Sooo yummy!

Kind of looks like batman is trudging through yellow snow, huh?

But hey, Dawson loved it and it tasted good.

Isn't that what counts?

I had a fun week celebrating you,

Dawson.

My first born.

I love you, sweet boy.

You have changed my life forever.

I love your sensitive heart,

your huge smile,

and those sweet curls.

So thankful for your life.

Thankful to be your mommy.
