Lucas Dayale - as he pronounces it - turned 3 on March 8. To celebrate we threw him a little Buzz Lightyear party with our babysitting group the Friday beforehand. He thrived on every moment and especially reveled in the "Happy Birthday" song to him, which he had anticipated for weeks by sporadically singing it to me with his name at the center. That kid is so dang cute!
Luke gives THE best reactions to presents...
We began the morning of his actual birthday in usual Hobson fashion with waffles and presents. He got a Wiggles Guitar, the Cooties game, a transformer, Toy Story figurines, and two small Buzz Lightyear's (which was his birthday wish that morning and unbeknownst to us came true!)
The two Buzz's came with us everywhere that day - to lunch at Chick Fil-A with dad, to pick up Kaela at school, to pick out a movie, and to Chuck E Cheese's that night. 
A dream come true when Chuck E himself came out to give Luke a birthday hug.
Check out Kaela on the big screen, remind you of anyone at that age?
Luke just dug into his cake this year, it's good we had all already had a piece!
We love you Luke and are blessed to have such a sweet and fun little man like you in our family! Happy 3 dude.
Emmy Lyn turned 1 just one week later, on March 16. I can't believe our little baby is 1 year old! Really, this has come all too quickly...didn't I just give birth to her? Mind boggling I tell you.Her day began with presents and German pancakes because let's face it, she had no say :) With a little help from Kaela and Luke Emmy unveiled a Little People Camper set, cute clothes, and a popper toy.
My favorite moment was riding in the car with Emmy facing forward, a momentous occasion every time.
Just before dinner I braved Chuck E Cheese alone with all three kids. It went incredibly well. This is the biggest and cleanest I've ever been to, so it make's going even fun for me.
We continued the celebration by having fabulous grub at Red Robin. Emmy LOVES their fries.
And at last we sang to her, helped her blow out her candle and watched as she...
wanted nothing to do with her chocolate peanut butter frosting cupcake. Honestly, I think she just had one too many fries for dinner :)
Happy 1st Birthday to You Emms! We can't squeeze you enough and are grateful to have such a sweetheart in our family.
ok Emmy is growing so fast, what a cutie! And, Luke? come on', hes killing me with his reaction to his gifts. How could you not give him something daily just to see his face light up. I love Kaela on the big screen. What a fun fun family you have Minds. Such a lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Thank you! What fun to see your birthday bashes. Can Luke get any cuter? Really!! And that little Emmy...what a doll. So happy for you (and her) that she can face forward! Life is good. We love you all.
ReplyDeleteGood times. I can't believe you took us to chuckie's when we came to town. You must have been sick of it! By the way, you are looking mighty svelte in that family picture. Woot.
