Happy Birthday to Me!

That's right! I celebrated my birthday last weekend. Yes, I know there has been a delay in sharing these pictures with you. That is what happens when Mom's camera battery goes dead and then she can't find the charger. But, I love her anyway! Daddy and Mommy always talk about how special the day I was born will always be to them. It is a day of celebration for our whole family, because it is the day God made us into a real family.

This was my 3rd birthday! Can you believe it? Me neither. I'm growing right up!

We celebrated with a dinner at Grammie's house. We got all bundled up and headed over there after Daddy got home from work. I had to take my new Gordon along with me! My passion is still trains!

Grammie had some yummy chips out for us to snack on, and boy, did Teddy and I dig in!

We snacked and played until my Papa Peters and Gram Gram Peters came. It was a small, intimate party, but that didn't keep us from having loads of fun! Daddy likes to get Teddy laughing by acting like he is going to eat him. We like to do anything to make Teddy laugh because his laugh is hardy and contagious.

My 3rd birthday also marks the 3rd anniversary of Mom Mom being a Mom. She says her whole life has been changed with motherhood, and she loves it! I sure love that she loves being my mom and spends each day taking care of me and Teddy.

Birthdays involve presents and I got a big surprise when Mom and Dad got me the Geotrax set I had picked out myself at the toy store. They took me on the Monday night prior to my birthday. It was a fun night with just me, Mom and Dad having dinner at Friendly's and going to Toys R Us while Teddy spent the night at Grammie's house. I am always a good boy about putting toys back on the shelf and not asking to bring them home, but when I saw this giant box on the bottom shelf, I gave it a big hug and just kept saying to them "We have to take this home." They were super-sneaky and bought it without me knowing it! How fun to pick out my own present!!

Birthdays also involve yummy food. We ordered pizza, one of my favorite foods. Here is Teddy chowing down!

Ugh, yucky Teddy! Don't touch Mom's camera with your pizza fingers!

My favorite part of birthdays might just be the cake. This was a super special cake made by my Gram Gram Peters. She knows I love trains, and I really love trains with candy all over them!

Here is my Gram Gram watching me blow out my candle...a big 3! Thanks to Mom, Dad, Teddy, Grammie, Papa and Gram Gram for making my birthday super special!
