Luke is three!

Our little Luke celebrated his third birthday yesterday. I can't believe he is three already. It seems like Rachel was three not that long ago! He was a little sad because he was expecting his little buddies to come over for a party (like Rachel had the week before). But I told him we would do a friend party next year. I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said, "the dinosaur museum!" So we played hooky on Friday afternoon. Ben took the afternoon off of work, we checked Emma out of school early, and Luke ditched his nap--all for some serious celebrating! We went to Pizza Pie Cafe first (love their pasta sauces!), followed by the dinosaur museum. Then came home, ate birthday cake and ice cream for dinner and opened presents. We watched a slideshow of pictures of his first three years and then called it a night! It was a good birthday and he is loving all of his new gifts. Thank you to family and friends!

Luke's cake. I made a racetrack car cake this year and it was a cinch to make! Luke loved it.




About our Lukey:
He LOVES puzzles these days. Here he is with his favorite one--Cars, of course! He can work them almost all by himself and it keeps him busy forever! It's the best. :)
He is a pretty good eater, although he would probably be content just to eat cheese at every meal for the rest of his life. He likes to play in the sandbox and ride his bike. He loves playing with his sisters, but also likes to play on his own. Cars and trucks are still his favorite toys. He can be a bit mischievous at times and can get into stuff he's not supposed to on occasion. And he's very active. Getting him to be somewhat quiet AND still in church is next to impossible. He's adorable, but he's definitely a bit of a handful these days. I think age three may be harder than age two for us--we'll see. But we love him nonetheless! Happy birthday buddy!
