my big birthday

i had a good day today. all the attention was on ME and it was GREAT! in the morning we went to this cool place called PUMP IT UP where they have bounces houses and inflatable slides... i was in heaven. my buddies logan and isaac, and his sister isabella even came too. oh yeah and my daddy left work to hang out with us for a little bit. that was cool because we went down all the big slides together! afterwards we went to the mall so mommy could get my buzz lightyear shirt that i was going to wear today. (she bought the wrong size the day before.) while we were at the mall, me and natalie got to ride the carousel, one of my favorite things to do there! and we got to go up and down the elevator a few times too -- mommy lets me press the button and its great! we ate lunch at the chik-fil-a in at the mall, which is one of my favorite places to eat. before we got home we stopped off at publix to pick up my birthday cake. YAY! mommy even let me pick out a birthday balloon too -- i liked the spiderman one!

later, titi celena came over and ate dinner with us, and then before i knew it nana & papa and grandma & grandma were all here and there were a bunch of presents waiting on the table for me. i was so excited! but first we ate some yummy cake. everyone sang *happy birthday* to me and i couldn't stop smiling -- it was all for ME! i blew out my candles then dug in to my cake! it was GOOOOD!


finally, presents time! i loved everything i got and can't stop playing with all my new and cool toys!

thanks to everyone for sharing my 3rd birthday with me! mommy says i'm a big boy now, not a baby :)

luv,
russell
