Lucas' Birthday

Lucas is a big three year old now! We had a friend birthday party on March 17th and then celebrated with Nona on their actual birthday, March 22nd. When I was asking him what kind of a birthday party he wanted he said he wanted a My Little Pony party. So I ran through a few of his other favorite cartoons to make sure that really was what he wanted and he decided to switch it to a Mickey Mouse party. Everyone came and we all had a blast! 

She's all ready for the party!

 He got a cane and baton! Now he's a legit Fred Astair.

The Cupcake.

He's been dreaming of this moment for months.

Can you tell?

To me this is the classic party picture. At least one kid crying and only one kid looking at the camera. Classic.

Birthday morning presents!

With Birthday Breakfast Cereal!

And German Chocolate cake with Nona! Yum.

Brooke and Sarah (my cousins) joined us and gave Lucas some Star Wars finger puppets. They're adorable. 

Lucas is a funny man now. He loves to dance and sing, he loves his friends and his family. His favorite stuffed animals are all of them, however, he still carries Elmo and Mickey around the most. He likes to tell stories and act them out. He loves playing with Darci and loves that she loves him too. He can count to twenty, sing his ABCs and has even been practicing writing them with what he calls his "Ipad" (which is really magnetic drawing board). He loves animals and says he wants a kitty and a puppy someday. We'll see. We love him so much and are very grateful for him and the flavor he adds to this family. 

(p.s. while I was writing this post he kept singing "Happy Birthday" to himself.)
