Bryant's Birthday Party

I'm sure my dad has some much better pics of last night's event, but for now you'll have to settle for mine. We celebrated Bryant's third birthday pirate style with a very low-key family affair. Hamburgers, hot dogs, cake and ice cream. Oh, and lots of pirate tattoos. Always good on a Saturday night since they go so well with Sunday church outfits.
We now have our own copy of Cars. Bryant especially loves the line from Flo where she's asked what she has in her store and she answers, "I got gas. Lots of gas." I'm not sure why he inherently knows this is funny, but it must be in male DNA. He quotes it constantly.
Karen and Bill's anniversary is on Bryant's birthday, so we always get to celebrate together.
Mom and Dad gave the Bryster an automated tee ball machine, complete with ESPN sound effects. He's batting left-handed for now, but the kid can pack a punch!
I had to put this one in because my nephew's face is priceless This is Bryant opening his helmet and pads from Mimi and Poppa G that just happened to go perfectly with...
... his new bike! It's a 12-inch with training wheels, and it makes him look like such a big kid.
We got a lot of practice in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. He still needs a lot of pushing going uphill, but I think he's getting the hang of it. Bye bye, tricycle. We're in the big time now.

Happy birthday tomorrow, Baby. Can't believe how fast the time has gone since you first brightened our world.
