Alex Turns "3"...

SO HARD to believe!

Here's a few pics from my baby boy's 3rd birthday party!!! Although it's today, we celebrated yesterday! He had so much fun! It was well worth the many hours Jeff and I spent preparing! I was feeling really guilty about not making his cake, I was running out of time! I ended up getting an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, and I decorated it with little Toy Story figurines! Playing with those kept him occupied while everyone finished their cake until he opened his presents!

This morning when he woke up, I sang Happy Birthday to him again, and he said "Thank you Momma".

Since his birthday is really today, we saved a present for him to open this morning, and we're going to take him out to eat tonight!

Happy Monday!

CSCC # 7 - A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Well, after a very long day of running from Nana & Grandad's house to Oma's house...and eating at each stop, we survived Alex's first Thanksgiving! Poor baby, he's a week shy of 6 months, has no teeth, and wanted so badly to get his tiny hands on a turkey leg!

My Aunt Cindy emailed a couple days ago commenting that Alex looked like Charlie Brown with his round head now that it had straightened out (he was a baby conehead when he was born~ Jeff thought it would stay that way! LOL!) When my dad read her email to me, I thought it was funny she should say that, considering this week's Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!

Dad wanted me to dress Alex up in yellow & draw Charlie Brown on the back of his head & take pictures (which I was fully willing to do...) but I couldn't find a yellow shirt. I did find some giant brown ric-rac that I would have put on the shirt, but instead incorporated onto the page.

I'm pretty much a newbie at scrapbooking, this is probably only my 2nd page ever! I better get with it, though, he's growing up really fast! This is the first page (of many~ I took pics all day!) of documenting his day today, so I thought I'd do a little Photoshop magic & turn him into Charlie Brown. I hope he won't think his mom's a kook when he gets older!

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
