Happy 3rd Birthday Jack!!!

We celebrated Jack's big day at Chuck E. Cheese at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday the 15th and we had the whole place to ourselves for a good hour.  By the time we played and ate pizza it was a madhouse but also nap time for 2 tired boys so it all worked out perfectly!
Jack took Drew for a little ride.
Drew even rode some rides by himself and had so much fun!
We took a chance on the roller coaster similation, I think Drew liked it more than Jack!
After nap time, it was party time!  Jack wanted a Batman theme this year.
He was SO EXCITED to see all the decorations and presents!
He went straight for the vacuum, do I know my boy or what?!
A vacuum and a mop and broom?!  This is the best day EVER!
Suprisingly, he was happy to put on his party hat that his Auntie's sent.
Showing off some new sequals to some of his favorite movies.
Grandma Hart sent some fun alphabet stickers as well as Uncle Kenny's old navy outfit and his old "Genious At Work" apron.
 Auntie's Donna, Hope and cousin Gabe sent some awesome Batman & Joker hideouts and cars.
 Luckily Jack had all the tools he needed to clean up after each gift.
The boys putting together all of Jack's loot!
This boy loves some balloons!
Drew having his "cake".
Pretty excited about eating this cake!
All in all a great day, 3 years have gone by so fast!  On Jack's official birthday we had a little party in his classroom with all his friends and some special batman cupcakes.
They sang 3 different "Happy Birthday" songs to him and he loved them all!
What a big boy!
After school we had swim class and when we got home Jack was greeted by 2 huge balloon bouquets, sent by Uncle Ron. He insisted that they "sleep" with him but I had to remove them before I went to bed because his room wreaked of latex...that can't be good, right?!

Jump-A-Roo Drew

We picked up a late Christmas present for Drew on a whim, Jack never had a doorway jumper but I had never seen a cute one like this!  Drew absolutely loves it and who knows maybe it will help him strengthen those legs for crawling!

Christmas With Auntie Donna

Auntie Donna drove all the way from Cincinnati bearing lots of gifts for all of us from her, Auntie Hope and Gabe.  She came the day my mom left so the boys were excited to have so many visitors for the holidays.
Jack jumped right in and decided to use his hands this time.
A Home Depot weed whacker, how did they know?!
He also got an awesome tool belt, a helmet with a light, a work apron with his name, a huge work light that holds even more tools and some great books including a personalized "Batman" book where it mentions his and Drew's names and where they are from and how he helps Batman solve a crime...pretty awesome!
Drew got a "Don't Break The Ice" game so we got that going right away.  He really just wanted to chew on the "ice cubes".  He also got some other fun toys and a ton of books and a really cute outfit.
Four little monkeys sitting on the couch!
Look at this Buddha belly!
Trying to get a picture with Auntie Donna on her way out proved difficult but funny.  We eventually got everyone to smile, just not all in the same picture! 
Thanks for coming and thanks to Donna, Hope & Gabe for all of the incredible gifts!!!
