This year her birthday fell on a Wednesday which meant it was a Grammie day. My mom made cupcakes for Sylvia which Nicholas helped decorate. Sylvia loved them!


When Daddy got home from work we opened presents. She got a shopping cart from us along with a few other toys.



I don’t know if its because of the balloons, the birthday sundaes or that is is just plain loud in there, but we always seem to end up at Red Robin for the kids’ birthdays.


Then on Friday we went to TGI Fridays to celebrate with Scott’s family.




Sylvia enjoyed another sundae there , but decided it was easier to lap it up like a dog instead of using her spoon.
Sylvia had one more party at my mom’s house a couple of weeks later. This time she shared the spotlight with several of her cousins, and I’m pretty sure she enjoyed these cupcakes too!

His favorite things right now (or should I say the only thing he cares about at all) are trains. He has quite an imagination too. He can make anything into a train – a toy snake, plates, straws, cars, remote controls, boxes. If an object can’t be a train in his mind, it will always still have something to do with trains – it will be something to fix a train or for a train driver to use, etc. Its seriously all he thinks about!

To celebrate, first we opened presents. We didn’t get him any trains, so he wasn’t too enthused. He was pretty excited about the new bike he picked out, but claims that it wasn’t a birthday present since it wasn’t wrapped up. :) I beg to differ. We had dinner at Red Robin and then took him to a different toy store to let him get something with the money he got from his great grandma. You guessed it – he bought a train.

This face is what he does now when I ask him to smile for me:

Last Sunday we had his birthday dinner at my mom’s, so thought I would add a couple of those pics as well.


And I can’t leave this rascal out either :)   She loves pushing the buttons on my camera which is the only way I can get a pic out of her.
