Tyler is 3!!

I  know every mother feels this way, but I can't believe Tyler is 3! He was so fun opening presents this year. It was the first time he really got what was going on.

 He made me laugh because when he woke up in the morning he ran to the table, sat down and said, "Where's my cake?"

 He had so much fun playing with all his cool presents.

 Grandma Red made him an awesome Thomas train hat.

Grandma Carlile took him to Toys R Us (it was so fun to have them in town) and he chose a couple of trains there. 

 On Sunday we had his cousins, the Boyers, and his friend Ellie come have cake with us.

 I'd spent SO much time last year on his Thomas cake, that this year we went simple and had Doggie Cupcakes.

 Easy, cute, and delicious.

 Too bad we realized later that we forgot to get out the ice cream!

 We love our Tyler. It has been so fun to see him learn to express himself and talk and watch his personality come out as he speaks more. He loves Thomas still, but equally loves Lightning McQueen now. He's a rough and tumble kid, but also very loving. Happy Birthday Tyler!
