Fairbanks Family: Happy Birthday Joey!!!

Joey is finally 3 years old! I can't believe how fast time flew by. I went birthday shopping for him on Saturday and I truly found myself holding back tears thinking that he technically isn't my little toddler anymore. He is taking being three years old very seriously. First thing he said when he woke up was "MOM, I'M THREE TODAY!!!" I thought it was cute.

After church we went up to my parents and had a small little "party." I don't know if I would even call it that but Joey did so, there ya go. We had cake and presents (from us and my parents) and Joey also insisted on having a few balloons. We found a few in the garage and blew them up. We just wanted to make his actual birthday fun and special for him. It ended up being really nice, low key and now chaos.

He was so excited to open his presents

"Oh a new trike!!"

My mom, made homemade fried chicken because his favorite meal is chicken and french fries. After dinner we let him open his presents from us and my parents. He was so excited. Its wonderful to see the happiness on a little kids face, expecially youre own and know that you put those smiles there. Gosh, I love that boy!! Anyway, this si the extent of his party until the 19th. We are having his official birthday blowout at our house on Friday. We invited the rest of the family and some of his friends from nursery at church. Check back later for those pictures, it will be fun. I'm doing a under the sea theme for that party.
