THREE!

Last week, we celebrated Cooper's THIRD birthday!  Lots of fun moments celebrating our little man.

We kicked off the week with a fun treat at preschool.  Cooper and another little friend who also had a birthday last week got to wear crowns and have cupcakes with their classmates.

Thursday (his actual birthday), we took off work and took a very chilly trip to the zoo with Aunt Sharon.  What a fun trip - the animals were crazy!  Clearly they haven't had enough visitors recently and were ready to show off.  So February may not be the ideal time to go, but it was fun anyway.  We capped off the day with Cold Stone ice cream with Gigi, Papa, and Grandma (because nothing says ice cream like 40-degree weather).  Yum!

Saturday was the official party, which was pretty low-key and mostly family.  The theme was construction vehicles and I have to say it was just a really nice time.  Cooper adores his family.  He finally "got" the concept of opening presents - and man is he good at it now!  We are thankful for our family being a part of the celebration.
