Happy 3rd Birthday!

(Free crappy photo from restaurant)

Oh my babies are 3! Wow. I hate how fast they're growing up. 3 sounds so old to me too. When your kids turn two, it still feels like they are little. But when they turn 3, they seem closer to 5 than being newborns. I can't deal. I'm looking forward to all the new milestones and things, but I miss my itty bittys too. I find a little bit of comfort knowing that I can still have another one if I can't stand it anymore. But for now, just the idea is good enough. (I have a feeling that the 3s are gonna kick my butt harder than the 2s.)

Their birthday was precious. Callie's birthday wish list included a birthday cake, some flowers, and this certain kitty toy. All Wyatt asked for was a Momma hippo to add to his growing hippo collection that dwells in his crib. They opened presents in the morning, played with their toys, and recovered from the weekend getaway. My parents came over in the afternoon with more presents and then we all headed out to dinner.

We took them to Hibachi hoping they would love it and kinda crossed our fingers that they wouldn't be too scared of the fire. I think Wyatt's exact comment was "DAT COOOOOOOOL!" so it was a huge success! The waitresses sang them a little birthday song and beat on drums and stuff while the kids tore into their birthday icecream. Wyatt ate enough food to feed an elephant and still had two pieces of cake when we got home. They were so cute and it was great to see how they really did feel like it was their special day. As I kissed Callie goodnight she said, "Nice day, Mommy!" and she was right. It was such a nice day.
