Celebrations

Josh turned 3 the day after Easter, so we had a good time celebrating Easter and then his birthday!

I decided we should decorate eggs more often. Josh got to tell Gary and I what colors to turn the eggs in order to avoid a staining mess. Then when the eggs dried he got to decorate them with the stickers that came in the kit. He sat at the kitchen table until he had found a place for every single tiny sticker that came with the kit. It entertained him for quite a while.

He was really excited to see what the Easter Bunny left him, and go on his Easter egg hunts.

Josh was really excited about his rocket ship cake. I let him pick a cake I could make out of a book a few days before his birthday and then he wouldn't stop asking for his rocket ship cake. I wasn't entirely sure how I should decorate it, so I let him do it and he had a good time.

I took the day off work to spend with him. Gary had to work and go to school, so we decided to have a picnic outside Flowserve. We let Josh open presents and feed the ducks. I loved his face in this picture trying to open presents.
He was very excited about his new train tracks.
Playing with his new bubble toys with his cousin Kaitlyn. Grammy Debbie, Grampy Mark, and aunt Kimi spoiled him rotten and got him this John Deere truck for his birthday. He has been having a good time with it, but isn't so great at steering yet. Thanks Grammy, Grampy, and aunt Kimi!
