cohen's 3rd birthday

saturday was cohen's third birthday.  we were able to celebrate with him both saturday and then today was his construction themed party. 

i volunteered to run big r with brody and cohen saturday evening to get the bobcat and dump truck for the cake...we only had about 10 minutes to run in and get the equipment before the store closed so there was no time for any meltdowns.
somehow we came out of the store with what we needed, PLUS a backhoe and mini excavator.  i tried to be strong and say no, but cohen came back with, but it's my birthday aunt jen. so i caved pretty quickly and out they both walked with their new toys.  who knew i was such a softie? (side note: michelle was a softie too on saturday...cohen didn't want to go down for his nap.  he told michelle she had beautiful hair and michelle let him stay up for awhile longer!)
we had a late night of cookie decorating, but they turned out pretty cute.
i do believe mr. cohen had a great birthday.  he definitely understood the concept of his birthday this year, which was fun to watch.

a gator ride later, it was time to wrap up the party.


happy birthday cohen!!  we love you!
