Evan's 3rd Birthday!
We sure did have a lot of fun celebrating this sweet little 3 year old!!!
We had his balloons and gifts all set up when he came down the stairs! LJ went to get him out of his room while I waited down stairs. Evan woke up so happy and with the biggest smile on his face... and it was there all day long!!! It was amazing! LJ was also so happy! I felt like it was my birthday! Hah!
Here's a video of the boys coming down the stairs after LJ woke him up (excuse the pjs- they both picked out their own last night- Evan's are mis-matched baseball and Longhorn, and LJ is in Evan's old skeletons! Notice how short they are on LJ!)...
LJ walked into Evan's room to get him and said, "Evan, it's your birthday!!!! I am so excited for you! Come down the stairs and see what you got. Happy birthday Evan!!"
A little after video, and after a few presents being opened, LJ said, "Evan, you are my favorite birthday boy ever!" And Evan said, "Thanks LJ! I love you!!" And they hugged! OMG!!! Precious moments!!!
Then he opened his presents from family....
LJ got him a little Batman with a shooter thing. LJ and I picked it out together at Target while Evan napped one day. LJ was SO excited to give him the gift ...and also play with it :) He helped him open it immediately!
From Gigi and Capi... Batman pjs, a book of Batman stories, a huge Batman and DC legos sticker book, and more...

From Queenie and Grandad.... awesome gifts!!! Batman and Superman costumes, a Batman thermos, a Imaginext Batman and Bat-mobile, and more...!
A robin shirt!
It was put on immediately!

Gifts from the Benzons...
Dinosaur eggs that you put in water and over several days they will hatch and grow into a dinosaur (that gets bigger for days)! Cool gift as always!! And dinosaur books and a stuffed friend to go with it!
He loves them!!!
Balloons!!! Always awesome!
Our first costume set for the day!
And then LJ had to switch from Superman to Batman... Evan was sticking to his Robin shirt, but he did add some Camo pants (I no longer have any say in what they wear! They pick and put on all their own clothes!).
Then Batman, Robin, Ellie and I went to the gym for a quick workout... as you may imagine, we got a lot of comments!
Home for Ellie's nap... LJ was still happy being Batman, but Evan was ready for a change....
Superman!
They are making their serious superhero faces!! Hah!
They were so busy playing with their toys all day long!!!
Ellie is starting to pull up on everything and much more often... LJ was walking around with her today (a little scary but I was very close!).
Then we got to go to a toy store where Evan got to pick out a gift with his money from Capi and Gigi... of course he picked a UT helmet and jersey (despite LJ's persuasive attempts and pleas for him to pick legos!). Evan found these all by himself!
LJ decided he'd had enough superhero costumes and put this on - shorts were pretty small (24 months!), but he insisted they were comfortable!
Evan asked for hotdogs and mac and cheese for dinner- so that was granted! And then as a final treat for his birthday, we took everyone to Pinkberry for yogurt! Aunt Sang and Kate were able to join us, and then a special surprise from Aunt Bean, Kirk, and..... Spiderman!!!
Wow- amazing balloon!!!!!
Evan was so excited ... he just ran! Haha!
Spiderman is taller than evan all crouched over!! Haha!
Ellie!
Home and into their new Batman pjs...
Both dying laughing...
Best friends!!!! These boys have so much fun together!!!
And the next day, more gifts came from Queenie and Grandad... so exciting!!
What an incredibly special day for an incredibly special boy!!!! Throughout the day, Evan came up to me about 5-6 different times and just hugged me tight and said, "Thanks so much for my birthday Mom!" My heart may explode!!
Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this day so special for Evan!!!
