Happy Birthday Fionn!

Happy 3rd Birthday Fionn! It's hard to image that you're 3...it seems like just yesterday your daddy and I welcomed you into our world...and you have been rockin' it ever since!

You have shown us what the phrase "all boy" means from the time you were born. To say that you'd rather run than walk is the understatement of the year. I don't think we'd mind as much...if you'd only pay attention to what's in front of you! Kinda re-thinking that skateboard that we gave you for your birthday...we'll never learn.

I'm pretty sure you've enjoyed celebrating your birthday this weekend. We Skyped your Nana B and Aunties in Ireland while you opened your birthday gifts (the SpiderMan gear is in the bed with him and he's already asked several times for his Lightening McQueen sheets). We had some of your favorite people here to wish you a happy birthday and your father cooked a delicious meal!
And once all your pals showed up to kick off the festivities...you were off and running. Thanks for standing still long enough for me to get this shot. Obviously, you think your pretty cool!

And finally, my crowning achievement on your birthday...your birthday cake! Believe it or not kiddo, your mom made this bad boy from scratch! The treasure chest was Grandma's idea and she did help me execute it...her artwork is featured on the 'lid' of the chest.

You and your pals were more excitd about the candy that decorated the cake than the cake itself...but I must say, the cake was pretty good...the frosting was awesome! Happy birthday little man! I'm looking forward to your third year and all the things you'll accomplish - first on the list...potty training! We love you.

You did a great job on the cake. That is something that he will remember. Looks like you also had great weather for the party. Wish we could have been there.

Happy Birthday, little man! I think the pictures your mama posted obviously tell the tale that you don't hold still for very long! You're a blur!
