Shane's Birthday Party!!

Over the weekend we celebrated Shane's birthday with our family.  Per Shane's request, we had a Buzz Lightyear themed party, and he received many Buzz gifts!  It was a wonderful day of celebrating this very special little guy!

A new talking Buzz!!  Last year he received the same thing, but after playing with it so much it stopped talking!  A new Buzz was high on his list! 

He also was given new Buzz pjs as the ones he was wearing were a few sizes too small!  Naturally, he had to put the new pjs on right away! 

Shane in action - which is what he usually is!  He was off to save the galaxy!

One of the big things about turning three for Shane was that he had to get rid of his paci (pacifier)!  There was much talk leading up to the birthday about throwing away the paci, so he knew it was coming!  On the day of the party, he was fussy in the morning and told us he didn't want to have a party because he didn't want to throw away the paci!  Well, he did it at the party (right before bringing out the cake!  Yes, it may have been a little bribery!)  And this is a picture of him right after!  He looks so happy!!!  And while he has asked for it a few times, he has had no trouble sleeping at night or getting through the day without it!  Praise the Lord!!  As promised, he did get to go to the Disney Store to pick out a new toy as a treat for throwing the paci away, and he chose a talking Woody (other main character from Toy Story)!

Cake is sooooo good!

This was actually from Thursday as Grandpa Poelstra  came over with Shane's gift - a batting tee!  He loves it!  As does Faith!  Here he is playing with it, and also showing why he needed new Buzz pjs!

The kids loved having Grandpa and Grandma Bruinsma come out for the party!  We lost track of how many times Grandpa read Where the Wild Things Are to the kids, but it was enough that he was able to recite it from memory on request of Faith while they were playing outside!!
