Family Photos, Winter 2015

We try to have family pictures taken once a year around the boys' birthdays.  Kolby likes to whine about paying a professional photographer when I can take pictures myself, but it's the one time a year I actually get to be IN the pictures with my kids and I really cherish that!  This year it was a really, really cold and windy day but we made the best of it and I'm so glad to have these!

Beckett's Third Birthday

For Beckett's third birthday he wanted to go to the "Dallas Ball" (i.e. Reunion Tower) and wanted to ride the train to get here.  So that's exactly what we did!  Kolby and I love getting to spend some time with just him, and he sure seemed to love it too.

Waiting for the train

 

There's a fancy restaurant at the top of the tower with great views but it's too expensive for dinner so we ate cheap street tacos in the lobby (like the classy people we are!) then treated Beckett to dessert at the restaurant.

What a view!

He ordered chocolate souffle and literally licked his plate clean.  Such a great night celebrating our birthday boy!

Then for his birthday party we put together a super easy breakfast shin dig at Chick-Fil-A and he had a blast.  The theme was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and all 10 friends he invited came to celebrate with us. 

  Confession- Kolby and I have a tradition of making the birthday cakes for our kids together but it just slipped my mind and at 8pm the night before the party it hit me that we had no cake so I ran to the mall and picked up a cookie cake.  Which was completely divine.

 Happy birthday to our sweet Beckett Boy!
