I'm the birthday man

Thomas is 3~ he has been practicing holding up 3 fingers. Here is a great shot, Pop Pop helped him get those 3 fingers up.

We celebrated the big day by a pancake breakfast followed by boat ride & tubing on Candlewood lake with his boy cousins, Uncle Mike, Aunt Andrea & daddy. He LOVED it! The lake was really warm so he enjoyed swimming it. T loves to spend time with his man cousins.

Then we went to grandma & grandpa's house for an outdoor camp fire party. We toasted marshmallows & ate burritos.

Peter was excited about the fire & wanted to go over and blow it out. He also entertained himself by going around and pulling all the straws out of his cousins juice boxes. So Todd kept close to Peter as we celebrated. It was so fun having all the family together around the camp fire. The kids played outside until 9pm. They especially enjoyed playing football together & making their own smores.










Uncle MIke & ANut Tammy gave T one of his most fav gifts! A bag of eye ball gum balls ;-)



E mastering the art of blowing up balloons.



Aunt Andrea made T these darling train cupcakes. Thank you!!! Don't look at me, I did not get to shower or put on makeup ;-)

T is so grown up. He can get his own shoes on & now sleeps in a big bunk bed with Elsa. He loves to have books read to him especially books about trucks. He loves to bike & build forts with Elsa. Elsa is his best playmate, he copies just about everything she says and does. They love when I build a fort for them in their bunk bed, they hop in the fort together & bring in big arm loads of books and sit and "read" together. He loves the park & Pump it up. T is a very compasionate & thoughtful child. He looks out for Peter & tries to keep him out of danger. If Peter is crying T will run to find a binky, cup or toy to make his brother happy. We love having you in our family little man.
