Three Years Old!

On June 1st, Alden turned 3. Wow. Where have the past few years gone??? We started the birthday festivities on the Friday before, since Amber was leaving Saturday for Crooked Creek to be the camp nurse for the week. We had dinner and cupcakes, and Alden opened some fun puzzles and new markers from Auntie Amber. Hudson was honing his walking skills and could just make it across the den from Bebe to me.Saturday, we went to the pool for a while in the afternoon, since both kids took really early naps. It was Hudson's first time in the water since his one visit when the pool was winterized and under the bubble, and he had a great time splashing around the steps. Alden decided she would wear a float, and enjoyed paddling herself around the big pool. As always, snack time was the highlight of the trip.That night, we continued our birthday celebration with another little party with my parents and the LiVecchis. We grilled out at my parents' house, had cake and opened presents. Alden was excited about her Dora bike and helmet (although she has spent more time pulling it than pedaling) and especially about Thomas and Percy and a crane that she got for her train set.
