Happy 3rd Birthday Parker!

Parker's actual birthday is today, so we had a family day focused on him and his favorite things!  I intended to stay up until 12:10 AM to get a picture at the time he was born, but exhaustion got the best of me, so 2:30 AM will have to do!

He was in a great mood once he woke up. The cut on his lip had scabbed over so it looked a lot worse today.

We started the day with breakfast at Perkins. Pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles were perfect for the birthday boy.

Then we did some of his favorite things at home. Helping with laundry...

Jamming his new keyboard...

And beating on the drums...

All that fun made for another quick nap. I love how he fell asleep, so I had to get a picture. This is probably the only way I can get one with his blocks too.

After his nap we headed to Maple Maze at the Maple Grove Community Center. It is an awesome indoor playground.  We started in the toddler area, but he wanted to check out the big equipment.  Getting to play here is one of the best perks of being a parent!

We climbed all the way to the top and took the tiger slide down.

Yep, that giant orange one!

Of course he found something to spin!

He had a fun bath...

Then his favorite animal sounds app before bed!

It was the perfect way to spend Parker's 3rd birthday!
