A THREE YEAR OLD!!!

Well it is official (and due to this late blogging of mine, its been official for awhile) that we now have a three year old running around our house! We made a day of it in the city since we were heading there anyways to pick up Grandpa Dave! The day began with some bowling (which Xander still claims is his favorite game although he was more moderately interested in the event on this particular occasion) and then did presents and pizza together before wrapping things up with the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." The theatre being a relatively new thing in Xander's life!

Both boys were VERY excited about all the Thomas related presents being opened!


This is where we were starting to lose Xander's interest in the bowling game. At this point I believe we were all still trying to take turns and play the normal way. Once we gave up on that and just let Xander and Eli run the show on the far lane and then chase their bowling balls (thrown illegally at the same time) down the side isle of the lane enthusiasm was regained and the birthday party was saved!

Avery got a couple throws in there...and dutifully cheered her ball on to the bitter end!


Sharing a high five with dad after a particularly great shot I'm sure!!!! I love this picture!

Eli, showing a diversity of throwing options for everyone to observe!!!




Xander looks like he's going to scowl at this ball until it does what he wants it to! If I were the ball...I would listen!
