My Monkey turns 3!!!

Sweet, crazy Graham turned 3 last week.  He woke up to balloons in his room and was rather unimpressed by them so I don't think I'll be doing that again.  And since we've never thrown him a birthday party I finally broke down and threw him one.  It was very low key but he had a great time.  We had pizza, cupcakes, and even played a few games like hide the monkey.  I know I'm really not the best at party planning but hey he's only three and loved every minute of it so I'm happy.  I love this little ball of energy so much.  I remember the first sonogram I had when he looked like a peanut with tiny arms and legs.  He was moving those little things so fast I thought he would fit in perfect with our family and he has.  He keeps up with his big brother and sister and tries so hard to be big stuff all the time.  We love our Graham! I can't believe my baby is three!  Ok I"m going to post pictures before I start crying and get even more sentimental.

By request monkey cupcakes.  And they may kind of look like lions but oh well, not bad for a first attempt at decorating.

Yes he is blowing out a Yankee Candle.  I realized we were out of candles about 30 seconds before singing but Shawn came to the rescue and Graham didn't care.  I love how easy going this kid is.  And He LOVED having people sing to him.  I think we could have given that to him for his birthday and he would have been happy.

Thinking about eating it.

Realizing its a monkey.

I'm sorry but isn't this the cutest picture ever?  And he loved that cupcake.

Graham was very sweet and did a great job of letting his friends help him open presents.  He'd say, "I can't open it all by myself."  He's too sweet.  Devin got a little jealous and tried to convince Graham to trade him some of his new toys for forever.  We explained that his turn will be coming up soon enough.  Happy Birthday Graham, we love you so much!
