Paw Patrol Party

When your birthday falls on a swim meet day, we celebrate with donuts for breakfast under the tent!

My little guy is three!
We sang Happy Birthday several times on his birthday and celebrate with dinner out at BJ's.

Sunday afternoon we had his birthday party at our house.
He has been talking about his Paw Patrol party for at least 3 months!

This boy has my heart!

Aunt Midge made him an awesome Paw Patrol cake.
He loved it!!

"I'm big now!"

We had Pawperroni Pizza, Pawato chips, Chew sticks, Toilet water, and cake. :)

Life group friends! Lincoln loves these kids!


Of course Titus was there too!


Despite the rain, the kids still swam and had a great time.

I love seeing the excitement in Lincoln's face and the happiness of celebrating him with his friends! Such a fun day for my little guy!
