Happy Birthday to Drew

We had a wonderful time celebrating Drew's 3rd birthday. It's hard for me to believe that my baby is already 3. (and according to Drew he's not my baby, but my big boy). My parents, brother and sister-in-law came into town to help us celebrate. Because Drew is so into cars and trucks we had a car themed party and invited several of our friends. Other than being a little hot, we had a great time.

I've always wanted to decorate a cake, so this year I decided to take a crack at it, and made Drew a racetrack cake. I was really happy with how it turned out. Here's Drew playing with the cardboard racetrack that Uncle Eddie and Papa (my dad) created for the party.

Drew and Knox enjoying one another as usual. They are so sweet.

Here is Drew decorating his car at the "detail shop".

Here is a picture of the "detail shop". We had stickers, foam sheets for license plates, headlights/taillights, etc.

Here's a picture of the cars before the kids decorated them. I spray painted 11 diaper boxes (that I had friends collecting), 11 steering wheels, 44 tires, cut out 44 circles for lights, and then gave my family the privilege of helping assemble them when they got into town. :)

Here is Drew blowing out his candle.
