My Boy is Three!!

My sweet, sweet Bubbies turned three. Not really sure how I feel about this.


He was born on Christmas Day, so celebrating his birthday has been quite the trick. We still aren't sure how to go about it (and will happily take ANY suggestions), but we're doing our best to help our little guy feel special.

This year we decided to join with Nate, Molly, Cannon, and Noah (and Evie) for a 'So Special Lightening McQueen Birthday Party With Cannon and Nate and Molly and Baby Newah and Uncle Evan and Mommy and Daddy and Baby Channing' (so named by Christian himself. And yes, he used the entire title nearly every time we referred to said birthday party).

At his request, I made a 'Red Lightening McQueen Birthday Party Cake That's Red Like Lightening McQueen' (he's into big titles.. :) )


He was pretty dang excited to see the finished product the next morning. I was pretty proud of it myself. (and no cake molds were used. :) ) Makes me excited to have a kid old enough to appreciate and actually get excited about birthday stuff.

We drove up to Provo on Sat. (mid December) and started the birthday festivities by playing cars in cannon's basement and running around without pants, (okay, that was just the little kids) dancing to loud music, and making candy houses. Later we went to Pirate Island Pizza (a better-tasting, cooler atmosphere, pirate-themed version of Chuckie Cheese) with N&M & fam and Ev.


We topped off the night with the Lightening McQueen cake and some presents from Cannon.


We really tried to emphasize to Christian that this was for his birthday, it was a special birthday party just for him, etc. I think he got it. (Here's some more cake pictures just for fun.) :)

(He still talks about this cake. Just tonight he requested a Chick cake and a King cake for a partybration. (celebration AND a party..) He even suggested we could 'borrow' them.

Love it. :)
