Happy Birthday, Mitch!

If the soccer games wasn't enough excitement, we went straight from the game to Mitch's Birthday Party. I can't believe he is already 3! (Well, he will be tomorrow, anyway.) We had his party at the park, and he had such a great time with all of his friends and family. He spent most of the time playing basketball with Jack and Alex and the other big boys. Papa Jack (Gary's dad) pushed Mitch and Gabe on the swings for a little while, but I don't think he played on the playground at all other than that. Of course, he had a Spiderman cake (for those of you who don't know, he is obsessed with Spiderman)! It was a really cool cake... check it out!
Mitch couldn't wait to sample it. And, of course, Daddy told him it was his cake and he could do what he wanted to! :)

We chose not to open presents at the party. It has been my experience that with this age, that is a nightmare! So, after the party, all of the family came back to our house and Mitch opened his presents. Man, am I glad we didn't do it at the party... It took him HOURS to get through his gifts. He got so many wonderful things (Thank you so much to all of you!), and he had to take out and play with each one before he could move on to the next package.

Uncle Josh and Aunt Leah got him this hard hat and safety goggles!

Gary and I got him the Spiderman bike he has been asking for. I think "Mommy" thought he was a little bigger than he actually is. He shouldn't outgrow this bike anytime soon! :)
