Let's Party

Lots of pictures today! Luke's birthday is tomorrow and today was the big birthday party. This was his first "real" birthday party. He was so... excited to see us set up everything. He really jumped out of his skin when I took the cake out of the fridge. He wanted to see the cake so badly, so I sat down on the floor and let him look it over. He wanted to eat it right there on the kitchen floor!

Look at my cake!

I'm ready to party. I hope my friends get here soon.

When the first knock on the door came, Luke ran to the door. He wanted to open the presents right away. First the kids played inside for a little while and then they headed outside for the water toys and activities. The slip and slide was a big hit. As you can see, the kids got creative with the outdoor play toys too. They played outside for about half an hour before the cake started sounding good...

Luke runs down the slip and slide.

A little swimming and splashing...

Grammy and the other grown ups wish they could do the slip and slide too.

It's time to go inside...

Luke was so excited when we came in for the cake. He was just beside himself. He loved the attention. Happy Birthday to Luke!

Everyone eats cake and ice cream.

Time for presents!

Wow Emily! Look at that train! After cake and presents, the kids played inside for a while.

Allison is busy making a new track!

After everyone went home, Papa and Aunt Cara played cars with Luke until his naptime.

Tomorrow, our little boy will be three. I feel so blessed to have had three wonderful years with him. He is a blessing to our life and teaches me to find the joy in the simple things in life. He really is a good kid. Thank you to God for sharing him with us.
