Happy 3rd Birthday !!

Ryder turned 3 years old yesterday. The celebrating began on Friday with treats for daycare. He came home with a birthday crown and a goodie bag from his teachers.

The family party was Saturday night. He couldn't decide what he wanted on his cake. Buzz, Woody, Mater, and McQueen. I changed his mind for him and did a firetruck cake. He is so fascinated by firetrucks and fire fighters. When he saw the cake his first reaction was "That's not Queen!" Second reaction was "Look Fire Trucks"

How do you shop for birthdays with the birthday person along with you. As we were shopping at Walmart for him. I turned around for only a minute. When I turned back around Ryder & Reganne were filling the cart with toys he had to have for his birthday. He then had to sit in the back of the cart with the toys so he could watch them.

Finally, the party started. He wouldn't open his presents without Rylee helping him.

Fireman Cake

He was all excited about eating cake. Then everyone started singing Happy Birthday and the shyness kicked in. We told him to blow out the candles. He turned to Dave and asked him to help him.

Finally, the fanfare was over and everyone ran off to play. He was content to sit there with his new firetruck eating his cake.

He had a great birthday full of little boy stuff. Firetrucks, big trucks, trains, and games.

Happy Birthday Stinky Brother! We Love You!
