We had a great time celebrating T's big birthday last weekend with our family, we are so blessed to have everyone live so close. K was excited that people were coming for a party, and T kept singing happy birthday, but to his cousin S. :) We invited everyone over for a birthday brunch, as breakfast foods are some of T's favorite things to eat. We planned a couple of games, and T had a ball playing with his favorite people, opening presents and eating. It was a terrific day!
 |
| Our theme was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, T's favorite tv show. My mom made this cake for T in celebration. T was delighted with it! |
 |
| Our breakfast table set with photos of our handsome birthday boy. |
 |
| We had a puzzle competition, who could build this Mickey puzzle the fastest. Papa took a turn, with a little help from the kids. |
 |
| Then Nana tried, again with help. |
 |
| Was Spencer looking for puzzle cheats on his phone? probably. :) |
 |
| Grandma & Aunt Sarah tried to team up! |
 |
| Uncle Spencer took a turn, K must have thought it was her job to help everyone! |
 |
| Uncle Miguel worked hard with K too. What a fun game, everyone's a winner! |
 |
| After all of that work, it was time to eat. K loves breakfast food too, especially sausage links and scrambled eggs. |
 |
| T gobbled up his sausage links and every piece of fruit on his plate. |
 |
| In addition to eggs, fruit and links, we also had mini fruit pizzas. They were so yummy! |
 |
| And it wouldn't be brunch without this delicious sausage casserole, and yummy, and oh so cheesy cauliflower and potatoes, one of my dad's classic dishes. |
 |
| A happy, and full, birthday boy. |
 |
| It's time for a present! Nana & Papa found these cool puzzle blocks for T. When the picture matches, a sound from the vehicle pictured goes off. He loves it. So does K. |
 |
| We gave T this car track that loops around. He has played a lot with it this week. So has K. |
 |
| Handsome boy listening to everyone singing happy birthday to him. It's one of his favorite songs! |
 |
| Making a wish with Daddy. |
 |
| Hope it comes true! |
 |
| Enjoying the cake, especially the chocolate jimmies that kept falling off. |
 |
| K liked that part too! |
 |
| Opening more gifts with K & S helping T. |
 |
| What a stud! |
 |
| This Mickey blanket from Aunt Sarah & Uncle Miguel was a favorite.... |
 |
| T gave it a hug! |
 |
| Still more gifts, he is one loved little guy. |
 |
| I'm sure it was hard for K to watch T getting so much attention, but she did pretty well. Her birthday will be here soon. |
 |
| Playing with new toys. He looks so grown up to me here. |
 |
| Silly T, he wouldn't take off the blanket for a picture with Grandma. |
 |
| Being his cheesy self with Nana & Papa. |
 |
| Hanging out with Uncle Spencer. |
 |
| Getting a love from Aunt Sarah & Uncle Miguel. |
 |
| Playing with Aunt Shelley & Cousin S. | | | |
 |
| On T's actual bday, we went out for dinner and then came home for a few more gifts. He knew exactly what to do. |
 |
| Smiling for the camera. |
 |
| This book is great! The tabs make a fantastic popping sound, it's called a Poke-a-dot book. Both kids adore it. |
 |
| Love him! |
 |
| A birthday book for the birthday boy. |
 |
| Pretty K reading along. |
 |
| One last gift, a Little People Lady & the Tramp play set, from T's favorite movie! |
 |

A huge thanks to all who made T's birthday such a special day. Whether in person, or in thought, phone call or card, it is all so appreciated. We can't wait to see what the next year has in store for this little guy. He rocks our world!
