We had a fabulous time celebrating our little guy last weekend. He woke up on Friday, his actual birthday, and was quite devastated that his birthday party wasn't that day! So, in a quick judgement call I made reservations at his requested restaurant, Maggiano's and we texted the local Grandma's, Mimi and Grammie, to see if they could come last minute. Thankfully they could and that made him happy. While we waited for dinner time to roll around we ran some last minute errands with Coco, she came into town on Thursday at noon to celebrate our little guy. We ended up at Costco picking up last minute party items and eating a slice of pizza for lunch while watching them make the pizzas. This was the birthday boys request. Greyson thoroughly enjoyed his spaghetti at dinner!!!! It was all over his face, hands, ears, everywhere!!! At dinner the waiter brought Greyson a dessert with candles and he was so precious and proud while we sang to him.
He woke up bright and early Saturday morning ready to have his Lovie, sock monkey, party! He was so helpful getting the stuff together and helping us set up the park pavilion again this year. I chose the park in our neighborhood each year as the location because the kiddos can play on the playground and I don't have to think of things to do to entertain them during the party. It's a win win in my book. Plus, he needed somewhere to ride his new red power wheels Jeep he got at the end of the party. The kiddos are always so helpful opening the presents...sometimes too helpful and we don't get the shots we need since little heads and hands are in the way. Ha! However, he enjoys it and I like that he can thank the guest right then and there for their gifts. He was spoiled rotten this year, like always!!! Each year Jeremy and I are always blown away at how many people come to celebrate our little guy. We appreciate the time our family and friends take out of their busy schedules to come help us celebrate the life our baby boy!!!
Happy 3rd birthday Greyson Michael!!!

| So, Daddy wasn't able to get his first reaction on camera because he spotted Gramps and Uncle Jason walking up with it while he was still opening presents! Little stinker! To say he was excited was an understatement. He took each of the smaller kiddos at the party on a ride. |

| We did banana spilts instead of cake this year to stick with the monkey theme. Jeremy and I found this sparkler candle at HEB and thought he would love it. Instead, it kinda freaked him out. #parentfail |
