Holden is 3

My baby boy turned 3 today. No matter what I say about the messes or trouble he gets in, I do love him and I'm pretty sure life would be dull without him. Tonight, we had a small birthday party for him.

Makayla decorated the front room with the left over streamers from the boy scouts.

I asked Holden what he wanted for dinner and he said "ampakes" (pancakes), "orange." I asked him if he wanted chocolate chips in them and he said, "yes, orange." So he got orange chocolate chip pancakes for dinner. If it was up to hm, he would have pancakes breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

Holden helped me make cupcakes earlier today. He couldn't wait to put candles in them and blow them out.
Makayla helped me pick out a puzzle for him. We already had a party while Grandpa Tom and Grandma Carol were here and he got most of his presents that day. We just got him something small to play with today.

**He actually found the puzzle in the bag this morning and opened it and put it together a couple of times before the party. Sometimes he's too smart for me.

Three things I love about Holden:
1. He makes my days fun.
2. He keeps me on my toes.
3. He always gives me hugs and kisses when I want them.
And one more for good measure, he has a smile that brightens my day!
