The b'day festivities

We don't do just birthDAYs around here - the fun is usually stretched out over the course of a few days - and Tim's recent 3rd was no exception.

The birthday boy:


We started out the morning of the 8th with a few family gifts:


and a few birthday hugs:


Then the boys headed to their respective schools, and then swimming lessons (where Tim took a tumble into the pool this week - oops! He was fine and will hopefully not sit at the edge trying to scoop water with his hands anymore). We had Tim's choice for dinner, bath and stories to round out the day.

Tuesday was a beautiful day and we played outside quite a bit



before having a rockin' party in the evening. (thanks to Nana for the banner!)


Tim chose dinner again (this time Chinese takeout - I like the way you think, little dude!) and we had the fam over to celebrate.

We're taking bets to see who beats who with the bat first :)


Woohoo! Maybe he'll let me use my camera now?


Dinner (complete with beautiful sunset)


An awesome cake by Greg (Tim requested Dora - his new absolute fav)


checking out Dad's handiwork (complete with serenade by Amanda)


Channeling my mom here ;)


Those candles were out before we even finished singing, but the look on his face says it all!


Yum! another great birthday!


Day three was rounded out by opening gifts from the St. Pierre contingent. The books and gardening set are all a great hit! Thanks everyone for making Tim's 3rd so memorable :)
