Robbie's third birthday

Happy birthday, buddy! Can't believe this guy is three already. Actually, I can. He is just the exact amount of adorable, intelligent, exasperating, willful, hilarious, kind, and interesting that a three-year-old can be.

This was the first year we let Robbie pick his breakfast cereal and brought it up to his room. I wasn't ready to brave "breakfast in bed," so he got "breakfast on rug." He didn't mind.

  Mmmm mmm.

Nana and Bapa sent him a Thomas the Train book with suction cup trains. He was excited!


Robbie got a bubble lawn mower! He was super excited to push the mower behind Daddy.

This is just the beginning of your future lawn chores, kiddo.

Robbie loves trucks, so I thought this kind of cake (thanks to Pinterest) would be perfect.

 He wanted to take the trucks off as soon as possible so he could play with them.

Our happy family.

 Using the dump truck to move the cake is essential.

We were lucky to have David and Char's family come to visit for Robbie's birthday! Here is Robbie with cousin Abby.

Robbie with some of his cousins--Abby, Charlotte, Kate, and Nina.

 After dinner, cousin Lincoln helped Robbie catch fireflies.

Happy birthday, buddy! Thanks for being our favorite three-year-old.
