Mattias turns 3 » Aldergrove Family Photographer

I have no idea how it happens, but birthdays end up being daaaayys of celebrations around here. I always start with a low key plan and next thing I know, our whole weekend is centered around it. But then again, why not, right?

Mattias is our hilarious 3 year old. He brings such joy to our family. Ah, we say that about both our kids, but Mattias is a surprisingly easy going 3 year old. It’s been fun to watch him develop into this little personality. Last week he invited our doctor to his birthday party. He cares a great deal for the regular people in his life.

He loves:

• play mobile,
• his tools,
• personal hygiene (brushing his teeth, spiking his hair, bathing, creaming his eczema, getting dressed),
• beer and wine and coffee,
• mowing the lawn with his daddy or any outside chore with daddy,
• church,
• playing outside,
• hockey,
• singing his heart out with Psalm Book in hand,
• his run bike,
• being a big boy and a big helper,
• playing organ with Opa.

He especially loves his daddy. I’m chopped liver if dad is around.

Here are some photos of our weekend (excluding parties). It was great to get some quality time with the boys before baby comes. The weather wasn’t the greatest this weekend, but we managed to take advantage of every opportunity of sunshine we could!
