Happy Birthday, Colin!

Colin turned three and had fun celebrating with a Cars party. As you can see he had fun wearing his birthday hat, as well. Here he is, happy to kick off his party with Doc and the rest of the gang!


We had anticipated taking Colin to Top Pot Donuts for breakfast on his birthday, but birthday boy slept in and Dad and "Pa Pa" went to Starbucks and brought him a chocolate Top Pot donut home to enjoy while we prepared for friends to arrive at the party.

I prayed for a non-rainy day, as the days leading up to his birthday were cold and super wet! God answered our prayers with a clear, sunny, warm day -- yeah!! I sent the boys outside and we played red light, green light (with a Mater light, which meant going backwards!) Here the boys all are holding their race car steering wheels.

The boys all had fun playing with cars, decorating cars shaped cookies (including those shaped like Mater and Mac), and munching down hot dogs. Colin was so tickled to have his friends join him!

Colin was thrilled after the party to get a cars scooter, which he has had fun taking for a spin in the cul de sac. And going down the driveway fast and over a bump is lots of fun, too!

Grandma and Grandpa (Pa Pa) came to town to help Colin celebrate, and we enjoyed lots of sunshine during the afternoon while he played with new toys and opened one last present before nap -- a Lightning McQueen plush pillow (perfect for heading off to the land of nod to dream about his fun cars party.)

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this special day!
