Jason is Three Today!

Today is Jason's third birthday.  It was hard for Kevin to be gone on his birthday.  He was at Basic Training when Jason was born and was deployed on his first birthday.  But at least his present was there, right?  Kevin got Jason a basketball hoop that is more his size.  Jason loves the one we have for Garrett but he needs help to shoot the basket, so we thought this would be more fun for him.  :)
 As you can tell, the theme of our party was centered around Kevin's gift.  We had basketball candles, plates, cups and banner.  We even had bubbles in a basketball-shaped container for prizes. Yes, I'm so proud of myself.
 We loved that we could easily find Betty Crocker's Gluten-Free brownie mix at the grocery store, so that Garrett could stick to his diet.  It tasted great.  Hooray for a GF mix that was yummy for a change.
 We had very fun party guests: Garrett, Kristen (Garrett & Caiti's ABA tutor), Aunt Michelle and of course Jason and mommy.
We had some fun games planned, but little Jason was super exhausted after his first day of school, so after opening some presents and taking a few turns shooting baskets, Jason finally got that nap.  :)

 I say this all the time, but I'm so grateful for our little surprise baby.  He is just what our family needed to be complete.  I love him so much and I'm grateful every day that Heavenly Father sent him to our family.
