Happy 3rd Birthday Asher!

We had a very fun birthday celebration for Asher. We invited Steve and Tracey down for the day and of course Grammy was here too. For breakfast, Asher got a candle in his muffin and he was delighted about that. He told me for weeks he wanted Mac n' Cheese for his birthday lunch so he got that and everyone else ate grilled pork chops, cranberry salad, squash and potatoes. The birthday boy really just wanted cake and kept asking when he was getting his truck cake.

Asher told me that he wanted a green truck cake and so I looked ideas up online and came up with my own version. It turned out pretty good besides being a low-rider! He loved it and that was the most important thing. The look on his face when he first saw it was so precious. I just love being able to watch the joy on their faces.

He had fun opening his presents and got lots of stuff for his train set. He was totally wiped by the end of the day as he didn't get a nap and had WAY too much sugar. I had spread the gifts out a little bit and was planning on giving him some before bedtime. At bedtime I gave him a book and his big present from us which was a shopping cart. He was so excited and ran once around the kitchen with it, then decided the wheels didn't work and tossed the thing all the way across the dining room. He knew what would happen then and I could see the regret mingled with anger on his face. Grammy carted him off to bed while I put his cart in a time-out. It took a while to calm him down but finally I started talking about his day to him and he calmed down.

All-in-all a good birthday and amazing that my little munchkin is 3 years old!
