Happy birthday, Justin!

My little Justin has turned 3.  What a full three years it has been!  God has been so good to us to give us Justin as our second born son. Every day is full of challenges, struggles, joys, laughs and silly moments that would not be the same without our Justin.  Thank you, Lord, for using Justin to bring us closer to You and to show us how much we need You.  We are so thankful to be entrusted with the life of this precious boy and we pray that we are found faithful with the decisions that we make regarding him.  

 So to celebrate this big occasion in the life of Little J, mom came up from Houston and we had a little family party.  We started by going to Nizza Pizza, one of our favorite Ft Worth places.

 While Justin took his afternoon nap, Mom and I decorated the kitchen for the party.  He was so surprised to wake up and see it!  :)

 I love the way he joins his forefinger and thumb to show that he is three.  So adorable.

 Justin chose to have a batman birthday.  I made the cake to seem as though Batman was looking out over Gotham.  I'm not that great at cake decorating, but at least my target audience doesn't know that yet.  :)

 Time to open presents!  Justin had presents from Courtney and Marty, Doug and Nancy, GG, Gramma and Papa Jon, and Mama and Daddy to open.  Shew!!  What a haul!

 Then we busted a pinata (and Mama's thumb) in the front yard.  Nothing says happy birthday like a big, candy-filled donkey!  Heehaaw!

Making a wish for another great year!  Happy Birthday, "Puddin'"!  We love you!!
