Parker’s 3rd birthday

Such a fun day!! I have to say, after Parker’s 2nd birthday, I was a little anxious to start this day because turning two was a ROUGH day on our little man. But we had so much fun!

We started the day with a Paw Patrol themed breakfast in our jammies with Dad before he went to work and maybe finished breakfast with a ring pop. πŸ˜‰ I mean, you only turn three once, right? πŸ˜‰

Next up, we headed to the zoo with our dear family and friends!! Gammy, Aunt Nicole and Gabriel, Miss Eryn and Junie and Miss Shannon and baby James all came. We had the best time! Parker was just SO HAPPY the entire time there.

Attempting to get a group shot on the weird chair that everyone has to get a group shot on. Apparently it was hot on Parker’s legs, so he wasn’t super excited about this part.

Mr. James. Such a sweet baby – Parker doesn’t care for him much yet since he can’t play, but Eisley is just in complete infatuation with the “BAY! BAY!” πŸ˜‰

I packed some cupcakes, a candle and a lighter in the lunch box and we all sang to him. He was so cute. πŸ™‚

We dragged our sleepy selves home, took a little rest time and Eisley took a nap. Jon got home soon after and then it was time for our very early dinner reservations for Red Robin.

Cuties wanted to sit together on the same side of the booth. Which was SO WEIRD to be sitting next to Jon at a family dinner. Ha! Usually we are on man-to-man defense with the boys and we stick Eisley on the end of the table so we can do zone with her. πŸ˜‰

This pumpkin loves to eat out. LOVES it.

I love this picture!! The waiters all came and sang to him and he just thought it was the coolest thing ever, especially when he got a sundae out of it. πŸ˜‰ The theme of the day was basically Sugar.

Then we had to go home and dig into those presents he’d been staring at all day! He was SO excited about them!

He got a teepee, a bunch of books and a new water bottle. Parker is SUPER into Where’s Waldo right now – he spends hours reading Waldo books every day! We even went to the library and hunted down the only copies in the whole city. So he was SO excited for a new Waldo book! This just made me laugh so hard – we were busy setting up the teepee and he just climbed in the box and started reading.

Hanging out in the teepee!! It’s such an adorable little thing!

They quickly discovered this was a great place to read. We put the teepee up in their room and I find them in there ALL the time. Such a fun fort for them!

Little sugar during his birthday song. Goodness, I just love those sweet little cheeks!

And, of course, we had to lick off the whipped cream from the candle. Such a fun, fun, exhausting day for our big three year old! Love my Parker Bear so much – I can’t believe he’s already three!
