Liam is Three!

The middle man celebrated his third birthday last week.   He has been anticipating his birthday for quite some time now.  They celebrated the summer birthdays on the last day of preschool and he has been pretty ready for the real-deal ever since. 

We took Liam to Chuck E Cheese for lunch on the 29th (his real birthday) and then celebrated with a train party on Saturday.  Sweet boy is smiling from ear to ear -- so excited to have a real live train in his front yard and so excited to finally be three.

 Owen and Liam riding the first go-round.  These boys are happy with a capital H!

 We were missing quite a few friends that ended up having conflicts, getting sick, and some that didn't get the invite in the mail.  Oy.  But, it was still quite a fun morning!  Ms. Tracy's (Owen's preschool teacher) 9 year old daughter and her best friend opened a party business.  I was the first to hire them.  They had games and crafts for the kids that weren't on the train.  These girls rocked.  They were so professional and had great ideas.

 Sweet Gavers.  He wasn't sure about the train at first.  And then he warmed up to it.  A lot.  Oh, and I realized about half way through the party that only one of my kids was wearing shoes.  Hilarious.  That's how we roll now that we live out in the country.  LOL

 The party scene.

 These five kiddos (Brooke, Liam, Owen, Noble, and Austin) rarely left the train.  Others hopped on and off.  They stayed on riding. 

 This is one happy guest of honor!

 Cake time!

 Liam's view during the happy birthday song.  To say that our friends can't carry a tune would be an understatement.  Hilarious.  No wonder Liam couldn't watch.  LOL

 Sweet little birthday boy.

 The present opening destruction.

Happy 3rd birthday, Liam.  You are the funniest of the Quinlan boys.  You always have a laugh, even when we are trying to be serious.  You are still very dramatic...once you get mad or sad, it's hard to get you happy again.  But, when you are happy you are oh so happy.  We love you to the moon and back, baby boy.
