Everything Is New: Party Animal

Don't anybody tell me I don't know how to party! My birthday party and Mommy's graduation party was a huge success! We had the most awesome food and such great friends join us to celebrate! I was able to play with a lot of my friends and I was happy they came to see me!

The celebration extravaganza started the day of my actual birthday and went for a whole week! The first day, Mommy and Daddy treated me to Chic-Fil-A! I even got to indulge in some ice cream and a special Cookies and Cream Cupcake from What's Up Cupcake! De-licious! Mommy and Daddy also surprised me with a new tricycle! This set of wheels is sure to serve me well as I start recruiting other kids in the neighborhood to help me with my plans to take over the world. I mean, I've got style now. Who could refuse me?

My yummy cupcake! It was so good, I ate the whole thing

Seriously? Who's going to say no to this face?

Then it was time to really get the celebrating underway. Saturday came and what a party we threw! My best friends (and many of Mommy's best friends) came to live it up with us, dining on fresh, grass-fed beef from Genesis Beef (thanks for grilling the hamburgers, Uncle Paul!) and awesome salad, chips, drinks and C-A-K-E! Mommy made all of my cupcakes from scratch and they were delicious! I think she's pretty creative to throw all this together, while trying to graduate at the same time. :) Daddy cleaned out our garage and we set up shop early Saturday morning. I was really excited that several of my grandmas were able to join us! Grandma Von Fange came in early on Wednesday and then Grandma and Grandpa Freeland, Great Grandma Renberger and Great Grandma Freeland arrived on Friday night. I wish they could have stayed longer. Their visits are always too short!

Here are a few pictures from my joint party with Mommy to celebrate her graduation from Dallas Baptist University. I'm so proud of her!

I want to eat those cupcakes!

Look at all my friends, chowing down on those delicious hamburgers!

Uncle Paul, the ultimate griller (aside from my awesome Daddy!)

I ate my WHOLE hamburger. I'm awesome.

My sweet Aunt Ali and Uncle Chris came and brought Baby Olivia.
I think I see a girlfriend in my future.

I'm a simple guy. I love a plain ol' box.

All of us Freeland cousins! Aren't we a good looking group?

Daddy totally surprised Mommy with a new bag to carry her NEW computer in!
Needless to say, she was excited! Daddy failed to mention that it was all MY idea. But that's okay, I'll give him the credit this time.
