Owen's Birthday

Guess who's three!? Owen! He's been talking about his birthday for weeks. We didn't mention that it was Owen's birthday this morning, for fear that we would need to postpone his party due to Henry's antics... but we figured it out. Lucas and I sang him Happy Birthday when he woke from his nap. I said, "Owen, you're THREE". He said, "turned three in bed while napping!"

He decided a few weeks ago that he wanted a chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting, with M&Ms on top. So, that's what he got. (not the prettiest of cakes, but it was made with a LOT of love) Owen, doing his "Owen smile" in front of his presents.

He loved opening each and every present.

An AWESOME flight suit from Allie... you can't tell, but under his left hand it even has a patch with his name!

After presents, we had dinner... then the CAKE!

Took three tries, but he blew out all the candles!

He then took his fork, and dug into the cake... it did have his name on it!

We all laughed til we cried. Why hadn't we thought of this... brilliant! We just started passing the cake around and taking bites.

My little baby is three.

Taking Owen's lead... and digging in.

It got a little messy, so a naked Owen self-portrait soon followed.

Owen is the happiest, sweetest, most amazing little man. He makes me laugh, he makes me smile, he makes be so happy we decided to become parents.
