Grant is Three!!

Grant turned three this week.  He's been looking forward to his birthday for a while.  He was ready for it.  He has been telling me he wants a "monster truck" birthday, so I tried my best to deliver on that.

 Grant helped me decorate his birthday cake.  Monster truck themed.

 We played pin the headlight on Mater

Grant got a direct hit on Mater's eye.

 I think Anna got the closest, but John got pretty close too.  He didn't have to wear a blindfold though.

I wanted to take a picture of everyone with the Mater picture, but Anna wasn't having it.  In her defense, she was sick today and may or may not have to go to the doctor tomorrow.  We'll see.  But she wasn't feeling her best.

We did a few car themed activities - race car shaped scratch off pictures, and small wood cars that we decorated with sharpies. 

 We also had a car shaped pinata.  You can see Scott holding it up and holding John.  Super Dad!  Anna was feeling sick, but the boys finally got into the pinata and even set aside some of the goodies for Anna.

Then it was time for cake. 

Grant did great blowing out the candles.

 Grant was more into eating his pinata candy than the cake.  But the cake was good too.

We had a short treasure hunt to find Grant's gifts.  Matthew and Anna helped.  Matthew also helped him open his gifts.  And then wanted to play with them.

 Grant was excited about his presents.

Grant liked this airplane he got, Bravo from Planes.   I told him to smile normally and this is what he did.  :)  I think he enjoyed his birthday.  Happy Birthday Grant!!  We love you!!
