Oh my how 3 years have gone bye.

Prepping for a party can be a lot of work. I spent the whole day before deciding to make my kido his b-day cake. He’s so into Thomas the Tank engine that I thought I would try to make him, his very own Thomas B-day Cake. After slaving away in the kitchen for literally 4 hours, by the time it was all said and done, I had one heck of a cake. Take a look at that!!! It looks to me as though I missed my calling in life.

For Austin’s b-day we took him up to the cabin in Forest Lake. The weather was great, and we had a fun time celebrating with family. We let him open some of his presents early, so that he could keep himself occupied for the day. His first gift was a parachute. Of course he has to play with it right away, and can’t wait. So, mommy and Daddy are his victims to do as he will, but we all enjoyed playing with his new toy.

He got lots of new toys, and fun things for presents. The one thing that he hasn’t gotten yet that finally came in, is a Wood Playset for the back yard.. (Setup of that is for a whole other post.)

As the afternoon past and evening got closer, Austin and the rest of us were getting hungry. We ate supper, celebrated with “Thomas decore“ great food, family and lots of conversation.

After dinner, I finally was able to bring out my masterpiece. The Cake. Now, Austin had not seen this cake yet, until now. I was so excited to see the expression on his face. I think I left him speechless, which was my intent.. Look at his face!

Daddy had to help him blow out the candles, because Austin’s still got some trouble with the whole blowing out of the mouth concept. (Notice he’s got 1 finger up in the air, because Brent’s got only 1 candle left to blow out!)

Austin loved his cake, and presents, and I must say I loved celebrating my son’s b-day with him. Happy 3^rd b-day sweetie! We love you!
