Mak wanted a Dinosaur Train party. So that means Dinosaur piñatas. They were pretty small, so we got three. :) He was pretty excited! He kept wanting to "break them", like I told him we would. I promised him he could when his party started.
Party day came! It was a lot of fun! We kept it small, only had about five friends of his over, which turned out to be a great number (since four of those five also had little siblings around Ellie's age).
When it came time to break the piñatas, sadly, Mak was too scared! I didn't account for the possibility that he may get attached to them.... oops! Bad mom. =/ Luckily, Mak did have a few friends who were game to try and break it.
And little hands are always down to grab some candy. ;)
We did presents after everyone left, in some peace and quiet - Mak doesn't like too much attention. But I was happy to see him playing nicely with all his friends. Makes a mamí proud.
On his actual birthday, we had a family party. Almost everyone was able to make it, even though it was a Tuesday.
Uncles Kai and Myles
Me and my (not so) little bros
My brother, Gilby, being a good Tío
And finally:
Our three year old.
I have no words. My love for this little boy that, three years ago, made me a mom. I hope these have been a great three years for him, since I know they have been for us. Brad and I are always saying how we can't imagine a life without him. And it's true. The world really is a better place with you in it, Mak.
Much love (and a few bittersweet tears),
The Dolfos
