Caleb's 3rd birthday party was a success. We had a pirate party and the cake was a ship. It was so awesome. We love our cake lady. The kids dug for treasure in a chest full of beans. Above: Caleb blows out his candles. Middle: His friend Anna Kate shows us her loot from the treasure chest. Below: Didn't quite catch it as it happened, but Caleb received an unexpected smooch from his friend Fern. So cute!

Striking Resemblance

Have I mentioned Caleb is OBSESSED with batman. Now he has a life size batman doll who does everything with him. Yes, I know...he really needs a sibling.

"Jesus Loves Peanut Butter and Jelly"
I have been talking to Caleb about Jesus being in Heaven but also living in his heart. Today he was eating his typical PB&J lunch and, after swallowing a bite, said the sandwich was going down in his tummy and would pass Jesus in his heart. "Jesus will be so happy because he likes peanut butter and jelly."

What is cuter than that?

SNOW DAY! We had fun playing in the rare Texas snow yesterday. Caleb wanted to keep eating it. Below is a picture of a very strange snow creature. That would be our pitiful attempt at a snowman with raisins for a face...which Caleb later ate. Kind of looks like the ghost goblin things on the Pac-Man game. Too funny! :)

ICE STORM FUN! Okay, so maybe we're crazy...but we know how to have fun inside for 3 days when it is iced over outside. I think we came up with a new tradition. We roasted marshmellows and made smores inside. It was great fun. After 4 years of living here, this was our first time to build a fire in the fireplace. So now our fireplace isn't clean and pretty anymore, but it sure has been fun having a fire all weekend.

Early Birthday - Batman style! Caleb had a hard time understanding Christmas is Jesus' birthday. We have told him his birthday comes after Jesus' birthday, so while in Louisiana after Christmas, he kept declaring each day his birthday. He was so adamant that it was his birthday that his Nana finally got him a little cake (a batman cake) and our Christmas party with extended family turned into a little early birthday for Caleb. So spoiled! In the pictures is Caleb's cousin Carson who lives in Arizona, but hopefully will be moving to Dallas in the near future! :)

BIG TEETH! Caleb came out of the playroom with these huge fake play teeth the other day and we laughed so hard we almost cried. Back when I used to keep kids I had several little cheap items in a prize bag and these were one of them. So funny!
