Owen's 3rd Birthday was met with much anticipation. All the birthday talk was so fun...getting him excited for the special day.
The big day began with a Duncan Donut breakfast. If you talked to Owen, there is no better breakfast and that's saying a lot because he loves most breakfast foods. Doughnuts with sprinkles on them have become a favorite...and he proceeds to eat the top portion of the doughnut only!
We took Owen out for lunch at a local pizzeria and had the cutest time with our birthday boy.
When it was time to open gifts, Owen jumped in with full gusto.
Owen got a play tent that immediately had to be put up. Owen then decided that the rest of his gifts had to be opened inside of the tent. So cute!
Owen got a couple of new puzzles so he wanted to put them together right away.
Grandma Kuder got Owen a computer/story machine that he enjoyed checking out.
I must admit that Daddy had the brilliant idea of doing a monster truck theme cake. I took that idea and ran with it which resulted in this creation. To say that Owen loved it would be putting it mildly. He talked about it for weeks afterwards.
Our tradition has been to have all our neighbors over for cake and ice-cream, and this year was no different. Owen was so proud to show off his cake and couldn't wait to blow out the candles.
Is there something about kids where they just instinctively know how to blow out candles? Owen blew his out like an old pro!
Today Owen helped Marcus celebrate his first birthday. His duties included helping his little bro open gifts and eat his cake!
We had our neighbors over for cake and ice cream and Owen got to hang out with Dave, our teenage neighbor from across the street. Owen adores Dave, and the two of them went to town with all the Legos. Owen proudly showed off all their creations after the party.
Owen got a coloring book at a friend's birthday party and he has really been enjoying coloring in it. I guess it took the right pictures to grab his interest (Toy Story). It is great to see him color with more intention and he tries to stay inside the lines. I think we may need to work on his pencil hold!
We tried to take advantage of some warmer weather by getting out for a wagon ride. Owen has always loved riding in the wagon, but I'm not sure he was too thrilled about sharing room with Marcus.
Owen has really been into putting puzzles together. To our surprise he has quickly gotten so good at putting them together. It is wonderful how he spends lots of time entertaining himself with assembly. In the photo above, he proudly shows off all his puzzle accomplishments.
Owen loves mini-golf, so we thought it would be appropriate to do a mini-golf outing with Danya as a birthday treat. Luckily there is an indoor place that was perfect for our budding golfer.
