Dominic James turned THREE! And it's hard to believe how fast the past 3 years have pasted.
We had a wonderful time celebrating the big 0-3 with our Bubba.
First, the Saturday night before Dominic's birthday, Daddy and Bub celebrated in style. They went to a Cleveland Cavaliers game. Christina made him a sign to take to the game to hold up. Not only were we able to catch a glimps of Dominic and his sign on TV (we TIVO'd it for those of you who'd like to see it), but Dominic and his sign made the jumbotron along with a birthday message from the Cavs.
Then, the night before Dominic's actual birthday, Christina stayed up late to decorate. She (along with a little help from Mommy) hung balloons and streamers. She also went and got him special Spiderman plates and cups to have his birthday breakfast on. Dominic had a yummy breakfast of sprinkle filled cupcakes with blue frosting. (This was his requested breakfast - good thing his birthday isn't everyday!)
But now on to the fun party!
Our house is just too small to host a family birthday in December, so we were thinking we were going to go with Dominic's favorite pizza place for his party. However, when he was asked where he wanted his party, his first - and only - response "McDonald's!" What surprised me was that our McD's is nothing fancy. No slides, no jungle gym, just a few video games (which my kids can't play) and the small computer with a coloring pages game on it (that the kids love to play). But if McDonald's is what Dominic wanted, it's what he would get.
They had a blast. We had plenty of food and fun for everyone! The staff was great and was very accommodating even before the party began. They did so much for us and everything was included- happy meals, party favors and even cake & ice cream. So for those of you reading this that live around here, I highly recommend a birthday party at McDonald's.
Dominic blowing out his candles on his Ronald McDonald cake. If you look closely you'll see the drool that was hanging from his mouth! It was quite gross, but the nice McDonald's girl grabbed a napkin and cleaned him up! Needless to say, no one wanted to eat any cake from that end!
Dominic wearing one of his favorite gifts, his fireman outfit. I think for the first 24 hours after he got this all we did was hear that he was on his way to a fire somewhere in our house and had an emergency!
All and all I think Dominic had a great birthday. I still remember the day we brought that little man home from the hospital. He's certainly grown and has quite the personality now! Infact, this last picture, he picked out for himself to add to the blog:
Wish us luck on the next three years to come! Just kidding!
We love you Bubba James!
