More of the Birthday Boy

The afternoon before Clayton's birthday I made his cake and Clayton, when he saw I had the mixer out, pulled the kitchen chair right up to the counter to help (and snitch). . .

Peeking in the bowl, watching the beaters go

Getting a finger full of batter... help yourself, I guess!

Mmmm mm good!

Covered in chocolate cake batter!

And very happy about it!

Here is our Happy Birthday Song and blowing out the candles last night with Grandpa and Grandma

Here he is eating the cake!

And now (even though we opened presents before the cake) here are some present pictures:

A Big Wheel! (click on the picture to see it bigger)

Some "easy" assembly required

Clayton was more than willing to help!

Such a big boy!

Having fun at his little party!

And a monster truck to play with while he waited for the Big Wheel to get put together!

He's still not quite sure what to make of all the sounds it has, but I'm sure he'll come to love it

Mean while, this is what little Reese was up to

That was a lot of pictures and video, I hope you made it to the end!
