It is hard to believe my baby boy is three. I offered to prepare him a special birthday breakfast and what does he choose? Peanut butter toast. I was excited about pancakes or waffles, but peanut butter toast? On Saturday we spent the day preparing for Alexander's birthday. Adam woke up early and smoked two pork shoulders and two chickens. Alexander's party was on Sunday due to the UK vs UL football game. Sorry to say that the Cats lost.
Sunday afternoon Alexander's friends and family arrived for a fun filled afternoon. Alexander asked for books for his birthday. Well, maybe Mommy asked for books for Alexander's birthday. Alexander got lots of fun books like "A Mouse About the House," "Trucks and Diggers," and "The Busy Bug Book." He especially loved his microphone, John Deere fishing pole, and yo-yo.
We had a balloon release for Daddy. Each of the grandchildren, Alexander, Conner, Jaxson, and Caroline released a balloon in honor of Daddy Bob. We miss him so dearly. Alexander's second birthday was the last time the entire family was together before he died. Daddy was at the party, but already walking with a cane and very sick.
Did you know there is a helium shortage in Kentucky. Well, that is at least what the lady at Kroger told me. She would only fill three balloons with helium for me.
It is 10:16pm and Alexander is still singing his ABCs in his bed. Definitely a great birthday.
Today was the last time to see a few of our family and friends before we leave for Nebraska. Saying good-bye is definitely going to be harder than I thought.
So thankful for our little "Grasshopper."
Mommy and Daddy love you Alexander.
