Jared Had A Birthday, Shout Hooray!!

My baby just turned 3 so I guess he's not a baby anymore. At least that is what he keeps telling me. I have a wonderful husband who goes all out to make the kids birthdays a fun day for them. We played a bunch of games including:
Hoop-it-up


Touchdown Pass


Target Practice


Test Flight


Frog Flinging Contest


Zoo Keeper Surprise
  Then they usually have a treasure hunt of some sort. This year Jared's favorite movie has been Harry and the Hendersons. He absolutely LOVES Harry! So my hubby designed a treasure hunt around him. He told the kids he found this note on the door and Harry had been here and lost his toys. He left notes wherever he went so he would be able to find them.
 After finding all the little notes telling them where he had been they finally found Harry's toys! There was another note with the toys telling the kids they could each have some of Harry's toys. They totally loved it!


Harry's Toys
  Then hubby made balloon animals for the kids...and hats...and swords.
 Then little man got to open his presents. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said, "pants, and socks and you know that kind of stuff." I am so blessed with kids who are happy with just the necessities!
 I did have a surprise for him though! After saving points from all the diapers I have bought over the years it finally payed off. We got this bike for free! He was pretty darn happy about getting a bike!
He loves to play with cars so my mom bought him this carpet car mat. He loves it too!

 Then finally we got to the cake I made. He loved that he got to keep all the "worker man twucks" as he put it.
All in all, another happy birthday has come and gone. Another child gets another year older. Is there anyway to keep them little a little longer?
