My big boys turned 3 on May 13th. They had a great day. They spent the night before with Abuela. So Bryan and I were able to put together their birthday present without any peeping. Their new thing is trains so they got a train table with accessories...see picture below.
When Bryan and I arrived to pick them up from Abuela's she had already spoiled them...just the way a Grandma should! :) She had taken them to breakfast at McDonald's and let them play on the playground for a while. She then took them to Party City to pick out balloons. They picked out the biggest Thomas balloons...we couldn't see out the back window on the drive home! Abuela also got them some party hats and some Thomas plates. So we picked them up and took them to a local mall here that has remote control cars/race tracks. They raced Lightening McQueen and Chick Hicks a few rounds before coming home. They had no idea about their train and were surprised when they walked in the door. They immediately started driving trains and whistling. Lucky for them it was Logan's nap time so they got a couple hours of uninterrupted play (Logan likes to play Godzilla with the train table...huge baby walking and tearing up the whole city!). After Logan got up we had dinner...Hot dogs at their request and cake and then they opened their presents. They got really cool Lightening McQueen blankets from Abuela that they use for nap time and quilts from Grandma Parker that they use on their beds. But their favorite present? The card that Grandma Parker put on her present. I don't remember what it said, but you open it up and it plays the 'chicken dance' song! They loved them and kept opening and closing them and reopening them just to hear the song. You can see in one of the pictures below I was teaching them the chicken dance with the card...only Clark would participate though. Taylor was a bit self-conscience with an audience present! All in all they had a great day and went to bed exhausted!
