pre-birthday birthday party.

gage's birthday isn't technically till wednesday (the 27th) but we had a little birthday party with grandpa & grandma reimer this past weekend.   gagie is going to basically have a weeklong birthday celebration and we're just fine with that, he is much to special to celebrate just one day a year.  

he's been saying for months he wants a chocolate cake.   he's always the first one to help out in the kitchen:)

 reading books when they arrived friday night.

birthday party time!  a case tractor party:) ...a SIMPLE party!!  after a weeklong of all kids being down & out i didn't have any time to do much planning.   and guess what, he could have cared less...all that mattered was balloons and chocolate cake.

 oh he was so excited!

THREE!

this picture totally captures my gage, his shy coy smile.

 him!

favorite of the day!

 of course, lane had to get a chance...

he took one bite.  "my tummy doesn't feel good.  i'm not hungry."   ...but he does have a kool-aid smile:)   (the most red drink i could think of the match case red.)

 how many tries does it take to get a family picture?

 present time!!
when i was telling lane earlier in the week about having a party for gage this weekend he thought of picking out one of HIS toys that he will give to gage.  he thought of it all on his own and was SO very excited to give it to him.   (they melt me!)

whats that?!?!  a GLEANER combine!!!

 

gage has been asking for a gleaner combine for soooo long!!!   he was pretty much speechless.  

she makes anything into a purse.

she got a few new bracelets...  (didn't get a picture of lane with his new toy, oh well!)

stayed tuned, more to come of the (almost) THREE year olds birthday week!
