Celebrating Three: The Big Day

Here's how Joseph's big day was spent.......

Up early for presents.....thanks for my new car Elizabeth!

Then, per the birthday boy's request/ demand (is there much difference at 3?) we went to the 'Dinosaur Museum' where Aunty Dianne and Joseph hung out with the Triceratops.

Koala was happy to catch up with an old friend.

Joseph and Jackson had a game of Jurassic Park while waiting for morning tea.

Time for cupcakes, babycinos and a round of 'Happy Birthday'.

Yes, we did bring Elizabeth too- she was celebrating her 11 month 'birthday' that day.

Then we met up with Daddy for sushi for lunch.

It was Joseph's first trip to Sushi Station. He loves sushi and he loves trains, so the combination of the two of them was heaven!

Then we went home and Joseph gave Grandma a quick check up with his new doctor's kit. Apparently Grandma's heart was 'beating', which Grandma was relieved to hear.

Then it was time for Joseph's requested/ demanded birthday dinner of sausages and 'pasgetti'- his two favourites.

And after more cupcakes and more singing, it was the end of a great (and exhausting!) day.

Celebrating Three: The Party

Well, it wasn't really a party, we just had family over for cake, but in Joseph's eyes it was a party, so don't tell him otherwise!

The elaborate dump truck cake that the birthday boy requested. His favourite part? The 'rubbish' (lollies) in the back. He went to town shoving lollies into his mouth as quickly as he could. Had a known that, I would have skipped making the cake, saved myself a few hours and untold grey hairs, and just put a candle in a bowl of mixed lollies.

After a quick solo rendition of 'Happy Birthday to Joseph' as we were taking too long, it was on with the show...

Three!

Happy Birthday to our big boy!
