For Canyon's actual birthday, we spent the day in Kenosha at Jud's moms house. We had been up there the day before and thought we might as well stay to spend the day with family. When CJ woke up in the morning, we decided to give him his first gift (he has been waiting for this for so long!) He opened up his hockey stuff and couldn't believe his eyes! He loved it! He started playing with it was having a ball. Just about that time, Aliyana got extremely anxious and wanted to give him his other gifts. I couldn't hold back so we did. After he was all done opening and loving the leapster and guitar, something clicked in that three year old and his birthday took a turn for the worse. Canyon got ornery and stubborn and refused to say "thank you" for the gifts that he had gotten. The battle had begun! Because he decided not to say thank you for well over an hour and a half, he got all of his new toys taken away and put in the car. Jud and I were bumming and couldn't believe what had happened to our sweet little two year old! After about two hours of stubbornness, crying, and being unhappy, Canyon decided he was going to thank everyone for the gifts!!!! And so began the more enjoyable part of our little Three year olds birthday:)
These pictures are most definitely pre-breakdown:)
