It's unbelievable that a year can pass so quickly... that Luke is celebrating his third birthday! Luke was so excited about his party! We spent a lot of time talking about it, because Halloween was just 4 days ago! This will always be a fun time of year for Luke!
Uncle John, Aunt Deb, Koko, and Bob joined us in our celebration, as well as my friend Mindie, and her daughter, Allie. Luke was so excited to see everyone, but was especially happy to see his friend, Allie! He talked about her coming to the house for his party... he wanted to answer the door when she arrived, and he practiced saying, "Come in! Welcome to my party!" He brought her to his room because he wanted to show her his toys. Luke smiled ear to ear when Allie came over to celebrate his birthday with him! Without a doubt, Allie is Luke's first true friend. She holds a special place in Luke's heart.
Mommy decorated with Whinnie the Pooh, and Uncle John and Aunt Deb brought balloons! We enjoyed dinner from our favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant! The weather was beautiful... sunny skies for Luke! Uncle John and Aunt Deb gave Luke a truck carrying a race car, complete with it's own key. Luke carries that key in his pocket every chance he gets! They also gave him his first remote control car... very COOL! It didn't take long for Luke to figure out how that worked, and that it was very COOL! He loves to play with his cars when he comes home from school! Koko and Bob gave Luke his first train set from the Thomas train collection. His engine was named Luke! He loved his train set, and we play with it in his room before bed. Also, very COOL! Mommy's friend, Mindie, and her daughter, Allie, gave Luke a great thermal shirt and Mellisa and Doug Dinosaur puzzles. Luke looks so handsome in his new shirt! He loves the dinosaur puzzle... he lays all the pieces out, as if to admire his treasure! Mindie brought Luke a gift honoring his adoption as well... belated Gotcha Day... she and Allie gave Luke a great Dinosaur placemat with everything a boy would want to know about dinosaurs! Again, COOL! Mommy actually received a gift, too... a little boy charm with the letter 'L' for Luke. We are blessed. Mommy gave Luke a set of wooded semi-trucks and a wooden toolbench! The day was a big hit, and I am just so proud of my son! He is just such a good boy and I am grateful to be his Mother.
