Cruz's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Cruz's 3rd birthday last weekend. i can't believe how fast he is growing up!

My parents came into town to visit and celebrate Cruz's special day. It was so nice to have them here! I really miss having my family close by, and Cruz really enjoys his time with them. I sometimes wish we lived closer and could spend more time with them.

So Friday, Cruz had a birthday party at daycare. Then Saturday, we attended another birthday party for one of Cruz's friends that shares the same birthday as his. After her party, we took Cruz home to open his presents and eat his ice cream cake. He was so excited to see a cake with his name on it. He got some new clothes and his iPod Touch. Yay! Now I don't have to share my iPhone.

Sunday, we took Cruz to Chuck E Cheese and met up with a playmate and her mommy. They really enjoyed Chuck E Cheese, and I enjoyed spending time with a mommy friend.

Sunday night my parents watched Cruz, and my husband and I got a chance to go have a nice dinner together at Ford's Filling Station. The meal was wonderful and it was nice to have some adult only time. Then, we came back home and my parents had to go back to their hotel to pack up to leave the next day. Cruz said he wanted to go with them and ran to grab his clothes and shoes and stood at the door calling out to them. It was so cute and a little sad at the same time because I know he will miss them, and they will miss him until we get a chance to go visit early next year.

Today, we had breakfast with my parents on their last day here. Then it was back to daycare and work as normal. I was sad my parents had to go, but we had a wonderful weekend and Cruz had a great birthday celebration.
