Happy Birthday, Liam!

I am finding it hard to believe that darling Liam is three years old!!! My, how time flies. He is such a sweet, bright, funny, loving, tumbling, tough, and - yes - terribly stubborn boy! :-) We adore him beyond measure and description and were so proud to celebrate his birthday! We had such fun - on Sunday we (the Harris crew, along with Patrick and Jillian, and Nia) went to the Mall of America to enjoy "Nickelodean Universe" which is the indoor amusement park. We all had a great time with the kids - log rides, Blue's Clues ride, Big Rig rides and so much more. Kate went on her first big kid roller coaster and loved it to bits, exclaiming at the end "Ooooooh, it's too bad it is over!" Liam and Kate both shot down the log ride flume with us, getting sprayed and laughing up a storm. We had a blast! The grown ups got to ride some pretty fun "big kid" rides as well!

On Monday, Liam's actual birthday, Gramps and Nia came over for cake, ice cream, and some presents. When I asked Liam what kind of a birthday party he wanted, he told me "my favorite color party! A green party!". Great idea! So a green party it was. So eco-chic of him, yes? :)

We all enjoyed green cake, presents, balloons, and more at a super fun little celebration for the terrific three year old. We got him a play tent and sleeping bag (all green, of course) since lately he has been wanting to play camping a lot and for some reason, dinosaurs always seem to find their way onto the campsite. We lucked out and found a green, dinosaur playtent! Perfect! He LOVES it and last night asked if he could sleep in his sleeping bag in his tent instead of going to bed (no - not just yet....Mommy needed a good night of sleep, so we will wait until maybe a weekend for that one!).

Happy Birthday my wonderful boy!
