A Birthday and a Blessing

What a great past week we have had! So many milestones and excitement in our household!

First of all, on March 7th, our little man turned 3 years old!! Memories of him being born are still so fresh in my mind...

It has been a fun three years with Creighton! One of the words I would use to describe Creighton is curious. And he has recently discovered Curious George and loves all things George. I know why he is drawn to George. Like George, he is always a very good boy (sometimes monkey...), but curious... and when something "bad" happens it is usually not on purpose, but Creighton trying to be helpful or just being... curious... 

We decided to celebrate our Curious Creighton's birthday with a Curious George party!!

Creighton began his day by going to one of his favorite places- the park! And he invited a friend, Tiana, to come and play! We were grateful for the nice weather.

Then it was off to another favorite place... Arctic Circle and the best chicken and fries this birthday boy could ask for! Sweet Tiana even gave Creighton a Jake doll and bubbles as a gift. He LOVES Jake!!

A special t-shirt, balloons, and cake made this George party feel very curious!!

 Of course, our Curious Creighton found the cake in the morning, before it was supposed to be eaten, and ran his hands through the red piping. "Mmmm... candy..." he said. "Aaaahhhh!!!" said his mommy. But it still tasted delicious! Creighton loves Reeses peanut butter cups so I made a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. DELICIOUS!!

 Creighton opened many gifts, including Curious George books and movies, a t-ball set, clothes, and a Jake gameboy.

But the gift of the evening was this Jake camera from Grandma and Grandpa Wilde!

Creighton LOVES cameras and this was a hit! Creighton took several pictures of everyone there and pictures of all his presents. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with him!

 And Creighton even had a late-night birthday surprise visitor...

Big Daddy flew to Idaho from Arkansas and as soon as he walked in the door he unzipped his suitcase and Creighton received more fun gifts, an Arkansas Razorback shirt (with Mickey) and a Skycopter!

The next morning Creighton had remembered the Skycopter and insisted on going outside to play with it and his t-ball set and the bubbles. This little boy never has a shortage of fun things to do! And neither did Big Daddy this weekend.
Creighton and Big Daddy are so lucky. They both have March birthdays, and every year since Creighton has been born they have received a special birthday present every March... being together!

 Big Daddy got some alone time with the kiddos one evening as Cason and I went to a Bar-J Wrangler concert to watch my mom receive an award. She was inducted into the Highland High School Education Foundation's Hall of Fame. Her award was for "Distinguished Activity Service". Way to go Momma!!

What a great start to the weekend celebrating Creighton's birthday. To end it we blessed our sweet Macey Jo. This little babe, like Creighton, has plenty of people who love her!!

Macey Jo's daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. He such a wonderful father. He is always saying to me, "Oh, she is just so beautiful." I am starting to get jealous... But he is right! A beautiful baby girl we do have!

We feel so blessed to have family so close and so many willing to travel to be with us for a special day.

Since Grandma and Papa Chambers were visiting for Macey Jo's blessing we took the opportunity to celebrate Creighton's birthday once again! But this time with Curious George cinnamon rolls!

Creighton also got a big boy kite from them... our spring is going to be busy with lots of outdoor fun!!

Wow!! What a weekend we had! It was so fun to celebrate our Curious Creighton's 3rd birthday- what a ball of energy he is! It was a wonderful Sunday as we blessed our precious Macey Jo. She is such a special addition to our family. And it is always so wonderful to be with family!

 Ahoy, mateys! Until next time!!
