Emerson's 3rd Birthday Party

While my Me-ma and Pap were still in town we celebrated Emerson's birthday with both sides of the family. Emerson was blessed to have both sets of grandparents and two sets of great-grandparents at his party; along with some other family friends.

The first present Emerson opened are the shoes you see on his feet here. He was SO excited (and that statement really doesn't do it justice) about the shoes, he put them on immediately. We have had to wear them, even though they are still a smidge too big, every day since.

This is his Peterbuilt, he told us so. I had no idea that the truck was a Peterbuilt, but the boy loves his Cars movie.

Literally tossing the clothes aside to see what else is waiting in the bag.

It was a great day for a boy - shoes, cars, trucks, and his "game" (a Vtech MobiGo).

Then it was time for cake! He decided he wanted this party to be backhoes and dump trucks; so what would it be without a dump truck cake?

And hazard cones for candles!

Blow out the candles

A very happy boy
He was quick to explain to anyone who made comment that he was 3 that he actually doesn't turn three until "October the 17".
