Happy Birthday to Luke!

Presents!!! That's the fun of birthdays! We waited until after the party to open presents so that Morgan would be home on his lunch break.

"What could this be? More Star Wars people?"

You can always tell when Luke is serious about the task at hand. Just look for the tongue curled up by his lip.

Here's the birthday boy with all his presents.

What would a party be without a little jumping on the bed and a scuffle for the balloon?

Here's Luke making a wish before blowing out the candles.

Here's the train cake I made...too bad it looks more like an 18-wheeler.

Here are Luke's guests playing with the balloons. The balloons were the favorite game of the party.

Each child got to decorate their own cake boxcar to take home. Luke thought it was so cool to put candies on his cake and lick the frosting off of his fingers.

While waiting for the guests to arrive, here is Luke and his friend Metz coloring a Thomas the Tank Engine mask.

It's so hard to believe that Luke is now 3 years old. We finally got him to say that he was 2 ears (yes, I meant to type "ears," he has a hard time pronouncing the "y") old and now it is time to work on the 3 years part.

It's true when they say that children grow up fast. It really feels like a few months ago when he was a baby and relying on us for everything. Now he tries to be so independent. Luke is an incredibly loving and smart boy. He truly brightens our home and I am so grateful to have him. Thank you all for being a positive influence in his life.
