Lucas 3rd Birthday

For Lucas' birthday celebration we kept it low key. We asked Lucas what he wanted to eat for his birthday and he said a really big cake. So we went with the next best thing--french dip sandwiches, french fries, and watermelon. It was yummy. Then we added some Thomas Balloons and called it a day!

John, Jane, (or Bompagrandma), Trevor, Fern (or TrevFern), and Dallas all came over for the festivities  When there are two people, Lucas groups them into one.

I have to say it was the cutest thing... we went to Zurchers, which is the local party store in Provo. I let Lucas pick out anything he wanted. He choose three James Balloons, three Thomas Balloons, and an actual Thomas Balloon. We took them to the counter and then I loaded the kids in the car while they filled them with Helium. I ran in to get the Balloons and when I walked out Lucas exclaims, "Are those balloons for ME?" Whilst patting himself on the chest. It was honestly the sweetest thing. He was so excited to have his very own balloons. When we got home I put both kids to bed and set up for the party and frosted his cake. When he woke up he came out and was so excited to see his cake. His first this was "Mommy... let's open the cake!" It was torture to wait until after dinner.

 I through together a birthday banner, with trains of course.

 Opening Presents!

 He loved the bucket of dinosaurs!!

 And was even more excited for the Fire Station Legos!! (THANK YOU GRANDMA TRACY!)

 He went through and found the dinosaurs in the book and matched them with the figurines.

 At last it was time for cake!

 He was a little bashful when it came time to sing.

 When I said ok let's eat, Lucas went and got a knife and took matters into his own hands. Sweet boy :)

He loved the three layer Chocolate Cake!

We had a great night celebrating our 3 year old! Now Stop Growing!!!
