Roman's 3rd birthday (weekend extravaganza)

Birthdays are so important around this house. 
We celebrate life and we celebrate each other.


I have started a few birthday traditions that the boys look forward to.
I love the months of anticipation that lead up to their special day.
I always want them to know how very special they are to me, to our family, and to this world.
They are each so loved...

On the eve of 3 I decorated and set out the beloved red place mat.
I am always giddy with excitement decorating the night before because I know the squeals of delight that a simple balloon and streamer will bring.


Roman woke up to a new kitchen.
This boy is such a chef at heart!


My boys then made pancakes.
A Saturday morning favorite around here!  


The birthday boy "skurring" up the pancake batter.


As our tradition goes birthday breakfast is always accompanied with candles and the birthday song.
Oh how I adore this precious face and smile...


That afternoon we set out to enjoy the music at Jazz Fest.
Good times were had by all!



Once home we enjoyed cupcakes.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Roman...
Happy birthday to you!
Dream BIG my baby!

The next morning after church we set out to make the birthday boys dream come true.
We enjoyed brunch at The Irish House.
After brunch the boys were given a real life kitchen tour.
Thanks Chef Matt and staff for being so awesome to my boy!


Following brunch we headed over to the children's museum.
This is Roman's favorite place to hang in the whole entire world!


This is your heaven.
You LOVE to cook in this kitchen and I love to watch you do it!


We had the most wonderful weekend celebrating Roman and rolling in "3."
Looking forward to an amazing year!
