Our big boy turned 3 on December 30th! I can not believe we are parents of a 3 year old! It just seems like yesterday he was born. I just don't know where the time goes.
Because Hayden's birthday is so close to the holidays we always try to make it an extra special day for him. On the 30th, I sent Hayden with some cupcakes to Kathy's house to share with the kids. Hayden got an extra special birthday present from Kathy and Bompa John, they took him to the toy store to pick out his own gift. None of the other kids besides Landen gets to do that so it was a very special thing for Hayden to do. He was excited to show me when I got home what he had picked out. He had picked a few Tonka Helicopters and they also gave him 3 movies. Later that night, Nate and I had our parents come over along with my Brother and his little family for pizza and cupcakes that Hayden and I made the night before. My parents gave him his big gift on this night since it was his real birthday. He got a new Yamaha Raptor four wheeler. OK, so not a real four wheeler but a Power Wheels one. It is the cutest thing ever! He sure thinks he is big stuff on that thing! He already as it all figured out on how to go forward and backwards. He is just too dang smart! He also got some CAT diggers and trucks from his Bompa Rock and Ma Marsha. Hayden loves diggers too!! Nate and I gave him some Transformer stuff since he is recently been into Robots (Transformers) lately.
On Saturday January 3rd, we celebrated once again for Hayden's birthday but this time with his little friends! We planned a fire truck birthday party since Hayden has always loved to see and listen for the firetrucks. I had planned ahead and called the fire station and asked if we could come and visit for Hayden's birthday. They were the nicest Firemen ever! They loved having the boys come by to visit. Our Fireman host was so dang cute with the boys!
Before we went to the fire station we had a little party at our house. I had the table set up for the four boys with fire hats, fire truck cups for chocolate milk to eat with their hot dog lunch, a fire truck picture to color for the Firemen and a box of crayons. Hayden loves to color so I thought that would be a fun idea. Hayden was really the only one that cared much to do that though. Landen was so dang tired that he didn't care to do much of anything and the other two boys just wanted to play in Hayden's toy room. It's kind of hard to round up these four little 3 year old boys and have their attention long enough to do much. But it actually went really well. We ate lunch, opened presents, and sang to Hayden. He is such a shy boy when it is time to sing to him. He gets embarrassed. It's so cute how he tried to bury his face into his little hands. We all then headed to the fire station. Hayden was the big birthday boy so he got special treatment. He was the only one that got to drive the firetrucks and ambulances. Loftin sure wanted a turn but the fireman kept telling him that only the birthday boy gets to drive! Hayden got to get in and even honk the horn, that was probably his favorite part!
After the fire station we headed back home for the second half of his party with the rest of our family. It was a big birthday bash of a day! Hayden was a good sport for most of the day considering that he wasn't feeling all that great. Once the second part of his party started with our family coming he perked back up to open more presents and to pay with his cousin older cousin Tyson. He loves bigger kids!
Hayden, We love you so much! You are our world! We are so proud to be the Mommy and Daddy of the cutest most bright boy ever! I hope this was the best birthday yet!
