My New Year's Baby has turned 3

Happy 3rd Birthday Jonas! What a fantastic birthday! Jonas is at that age now where he understands the celebratory of his birthday and how important he is to us.

Started off with chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, and scrambled eggs...his request.

Then opened his first present.

More tractors! Jonas exclaims,"oh cool...these are John Deere tractors."

Time to get dressed and head to Jumpstreet, a gym with over 100 trampolines from wall to wall and kids jump for an hour. Jonas decided to start now and jump on the bed, he was so excited! Well, we drove down and they were closed for the holiday. We were all very sad but we had a Plan B...BOWLING!

Bowling for the first time was a blast and loved it. Jonas invited 1 friend, his best buddy, Asher.

They had lighter bowling balls, bumpers, and a ramp to help them roll it down the lane. What a brilliant idea.

He was very patient and made sure the bar was up and the pins were down before he threw the ball. He loved the game.

Silas was able to bowl for the first time too.

The adults had our own lane to bowl too. Matt was a rock star and enjoyed throwing lots of strikes.

First time playing video car games at the bowling alley too. Jonas was biting his bottom lip to help him concentrate, just like his Grandmom.

Back home we baked and decorated the birthday cake together. Jonas said "I want to stir with a spatula." I enjoy talking with Jonas in the kitchen. It's so adorable the way he says things and how excited he gets to communicate with us.

Matt made this birthday party hat for Jonas to wear. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND TODAY I'M KING:)

We devoured homemade pizza and juice boxes.

Jonas blowing out the candles in 1 breath. Nice lungs little squirt!

Chocolate Almond cupcakes with White Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting...delicious!

Jonas took the gas tank to eat.

And enjoyed showing off his black tongue.

Silas was able to lick my plate to enjoy a little taste.

The night was coming to an end and I asked Jonas what his favorite thing about today was. He said, "being with my friends and family". Next we talked about how this is a new year and asked him if he wanted to do something new this year. He responded, "go to preschool". OMG! I can't believe my little sweet pea is growing up. We are considering preschool for the fall. I think he is ready...but are we?:)
