A Week of Birthday Celebrations


Well, Harrison turned three this week and I was planning on having a little friend's party for him to celebrate, but alas, my plans changed a few weeks back with bed rest. So we settled for 3 different days to celebrate his birthday at home. First, Grandma Ward was here helping out (thank goodness) and decided to give Harrison his present before his birthday so we could enjoy it one night.
He loved opening his first present and loved watching the new Lion King movie.
Then on his birthday, I made my first venture out of the house and we went to playgroup at a park by our house. Grandma got to chase him around while I got to sit back and watch him play. Then we had a picnic lunch. It was a fun morning.
When we got back from the park, Harrison "helped" Grandma make his cake.
He did better putting the sprinkles on!
Then with Daddy on Skype, we got to open some of his presents. He got new shoes and a dump truck from his Willerth Grandparents and family.

And I managed to finally finish his super hero cape that had been a long time in the making. He also got some Cars stuff and a new water bottle.
After presents, we had a Spaghetti dinner which Harrison picked and sang Happy Birthday to him. He did a great job blowing out his candles.
Then on Saturday, when Daddy was home, he got another present.
He got 2 new trains to play with and he and Daddy spent most of the weekend playing with trains and building new tracks.
Saturday was also Grandma Ward's birthday so we were able to take a little time from Harrison to celebrate her. We had a great cook out and enjoyed some time together. Grandpa sent some awesome flowers. They smell amazing!
Jeff made a great cake and we all enjoyed the rest of our weekend together.
Happy Birthday!
