Two Sundays ago we celebrated my 3rd birthday with our extended family! It was a gorgeous day, cool and breezy, and perfect for being outside! Grangie and Paw-Paw Mike (Tuckey Boy!) graciously hosted the gathering at their house. They have an awesome backyard with a large covered carport that works perfectly for outdoor parties. Plus, Tuckey Boy grills some great burgers and hot dogs! We had a great spread of food for everyone to eat.....
I got to play all day with all my cousins! It was so fun, and great that we were all together. Mommy and Aunt Jenny really laughed at me and Gabbie. I was riding on my tractor, pulling the trailor, and Gabbie was riding in the trailor. (Really, it's Parin's old tractor.... yes, THE very tractor that Mommy, Parin, and Aunt Jenny used to ride around in the exact same way when they were little!) We had fun, and they enjoyed watching us!
Mommy and Daddy got some great decorations for a Thomas the Train themed party.
I loved my big Thomas balloon!
Mommy made me a fabulous Thomas cake. I got to pick out the trains at Toys R Us that were on the cake. And it was green cake -- my favorite color!!
I just loved my cake!
And I blew out all my candles!
Oh yum! Green cake and Blue Bell ice cream!
I even took a few minutes to visit with Uncle Donald while I ate!
Then it was time to open my gifts! My cousins, especially Shaina and Katherine, helped me out a lot! Thanks to everyone for all the awesome wonderful gifts!
After I'd opened all the gifts on the table, Mommy told me to close my eyes for a big surprise from her and Daddy Jer! What could it be???
Wow! A new red bike!
It's a 'big boy bike', and red, just like my favorite monkey, Curious George, has!
Everyone at the party seemed to have had a wonderful time hanging out and visiting.
I'm so glad everyone came!
After everyone left and the party was over, I climbed in my sandbox for some fun!
