Mateo's 3rd Birthday

Mateo turned 3 years old today! It has been a fun-filled day ... this series of pictures were taken to document his birthday adventures.

Super Mateo woke up snuggled in his Daddy's arms and later to the pat-pat of his little sister

All dressed and ready for the day

Mateo checks out his "Happy Birthday Super Mateo!" cake. He specifically requested a blue cake. :)

Once at Dona Blanca's house, she welcomed Mateo with a big hug and gave him his birthday present ...
... Veggie Tales Dave and the Giant Pickle. "Gracias, Dona Blanca!" he said with delight.

Playing on the neighbors swingset


"Happy Birthday to You!"

I wonder what he wished for?

Los abuelitos share in singing "Happy Birthday to You" and Mateo blowing out his candle via Skype.
