Birthday's have always been a big deal growing up. My Mom loved celebrating them and I was certainly a willing participant in being "queen for the day". For this reason, it makes it really fun that Austin can comprehend the day a little better. Leading up to the big day, I have been prepping him with the knowledge of how old he will be on his birthday, pointing out when other's were celebrating birthdays so he could observe their delight and just plain getting him psyched for TURNING THREE!
His birthday celebration pretty much lasted a week. It started with his class singing "Happy Birthday" the last day before Christmas break and adorning him with his "king hat". Followed by waking up to balloons in his bedroom, the morning of his birthday, two days later.

He enjoyed the "bawoons!" very much. This may become a tradition! Saturday was about being extra special so we made holiday treats, including "Austin taste it" experiences, lots of "Monster's Inc" viewings and all around playing with his new gifts.

A couple days later, his Nonny and Doc came into town for Christmas, so we continued the celebration on Christmas Eve with a little cake. It was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday sweet Austin! You are an amazing delight in our little world and we enjoy celebrating each and every day with you.
Love you, Mommy and Daddy.
