Chris and I decided a while ago that we would do a big birthday party every other year for our children. Last year Abram had a big party, so this year we spent the day doing his favorite things as a family. Also, Abram had just had his lip revision surgery so we wanted to keep it low key so his lip could continue to heal.
We had such a fun day. We started the morning off with Cake Batter Pancakes. They were delicious and Abe loved blowing out his candles. It was so fun this year because he actually understood that today was his birthday, that he was no longer "2," but "3!" It was so fun to see his excitement.
After breakfast we set out for our first family adventure. Whenever we go walking on the bike trail Abe always points out the bicycles you can rent. We thought today would be a fun day to rent one just for him. He had a blast and loved blowing the horn!
When we came home from our bike ride we ate lunch and then sang "Happy Birthday" again before eating his birthday cupcakes. Abe not only helped to make these cupcakes, but he picked out the batter, icing and sprinkles. He couldn't wait to eat one!
Then after nap time we were off to our second surprise... The Santa Cruz Boardwalk. It is such a fun place with great rides. We started off with the kid rides but then Chris decided since he was "3" he was big enough for the "big boy rides." Abe's eyes lit up and they had such a fun time!! I couldn't believe Abe wasn't scared! He just kept saying "more, more!"
We can't believe our little boy is 3! This year has flown by, but it has been such an incredible one with our sweet Abram. We love you, buddy!!
