Owen celebrates the big 3!

We decided to celebrate Owen's 3rd birthday a little early just in case little brother arrives sooner than expected. Here's the big boy opening his gifts the morning of his party.

Party Time!
The theme that Owen picked out was Jungle Safari. We did a tiger hunt (a recording headed up by our good pal Ernie) and played at the park.
