Happy Birthday Keenan!

March 2nd was Keenan's 3rd birthday! I always thought it was silly that moms got so emotional at things like this, but I was a little sad to know that Keenan is officially a real kid. (As opposed to the fake kid that he used to be.)

It started off a week ahead of time when Tyrel took Keenan to a hockey game with Uncle Shane and Kalen. Keenan has decided that he wants to be a hockey player so this was really fun for him. You'll have to ask Tyrel about the details of their excursion. They didn't tell me much except that they had fun, that I will go watch Keenan play when he gets big, and that Uncle Shane gets a little crazy at hockey games.

Because of the crowding problem we had in our tiny house last year, we decided to have separate parties for friends/cousins in the area and for grandparents. The Saturday before Keenan's birthday, we went to McDonald's for the "kid party." Lots of cousins and friends showed up and I think they all had fun.





We had Spongebob and Patrick cupcakes that Keenan, Draiman, and I made and individual ice cream cups. It was super easy and I thought they turned out kinda' cute!





On Keenan's actual birthday he woke up to find his present from Tyrel and me-a brand new Spiderman bicycle! We took him out to an empty parking lot to let him ride it later that day. It was so cute watching him figure out the pedals because he got so excited when he could make it move by himself.




Then, Keenan and I made his Spongebob cake (something he'd been anticipating for at least six months). Spongebob didn't have any arms or legs, but it was exciting for a three-year old anyway.




We ended the festivities with a visit from both sets of grandparents and, much to Keenan's wonder and excitement, more presents! It's sad how quickly the years have passed since we brought him home, but we had fun celebrating with him anyway!
