He's Three!

Miles had a pretty great birthday yesterday! He started the morning off with his favorite cereal and a Thomas birthday hat:

Then we dropped the girls and dad off at school and went to the YMCA where he loves to play at the Tot Watch. Afterwards we stopped by the Quality Dairy for a birthday doughnut. He polished it off in the car so I got a picture of him just after finishing it (it must have been pretty fresh and yummy because he has never finished an entire doughnut all by himself!)

Then he watched a Thomas show while Wesley napped and I got ready. Then we went out to lunch at Wendy's together and ran to the grocery store where he got to ride in the TV cart (did you know they have those here?). Then we came back home to bake his birthday cake. He really wanted to help with it and had a plan for it. He wanted chocolate cake with blue frosting with sprinkles and dots and a real moving Thomas on it! :)

yummy!

He changed his mind and put Gordon on it in the end and we borrowed our neighbor's train tracks for the top. He was pretty happy with the end result, and since I am not one who likes to slave over cake decorating I loved it, too!

We also went to Jumpin Jax - which is one of his very favorite places to go. We didn't stay long but the kids were all worn out and red-cheeked when we left.

I didn't get a lot of pictures of present opening (I was taping instead) But he was so happy. He got some great new Thomas stuff to add to his train collection. We love this boy!!
