Craiger's 3rd Family Birthday Party

Craiger waited patiently all day long for his sisters to get home from school so we could celebrate his birthday with dinner & presents.

He was SO excited for me to make his favorite dinner:

Cheese Pizza

French Fries

Cantaloupe, Apples, & Strawberries

& Milk

The Potter's are big pizza lovers.  Bladen & Craiger can eat an entire pizza between the two of them.  I'm not looking forward to their teenage years.  They're going to eat me out of house & home.

My girls also love pizza.  They get the pizza love from their daddy.  (NOT ME. . . I hate pizza)

Even Canyon likes his fair share of pizza crust goodness.

After dinner, we all gathered around & let Craiger open his presents from family.  Since Daddy is still gone, we made sure he was on video chat so he could watch Craiger's excitement.

Mimi & Baba got him a letter laptop.

Taya, Bladen, & Canyon got Craiger a big sticker book where
there are papers of giant place settings & tons of food stickers
that Craiger can put all over the plates, bowls, & cups.

Auntie Char & Uncle Jay got him Hungry
Hungry Hippos

Mamoo got him a great elephant game

Auntie Cari & Uncle Justin got him a fishing
game he's been wanting for some time now.

Lorien spent her allowance money & got him a mosaic craft set
like hers. . . but for a 3 year old.  They've been crafting together
all morning long.

Cadence bought Craiger a transformer dinosaur with her allowance.

Trek & I got him a balance bike to help him with his balance
before we get him a real bike.  We're hoping this quickens the
bike learning process for him (& maybe Bladen too)

He was pretty excited.

But his favorite present of the day was from
Opa & Oma.  They got him a HUGE transformer
T-Rex robot dinosaur that obeys your voice
commands.  It's super cool.

He played with it all day long & slept with it
last night.  (He kept getting mad because it was
too big for his bed & it kept falling out.)

Happy Birthday Monster!!  We love you so much & can't wait for your big boy Batman birthday party in 2 weeks when daddy comes home.
