Reese sure had a fun birthday yesterday! After a Walmart Trip, we enjoyed the nice weather outside for a little while before lunch. We also got to play outside after nap time with just light jackets on. Quite different from all the snow we had on the ground at this time last year!!

We had a small celebration last night for Reese since his party isn't until Sunday. I had a practice run at decorating the cake (which tasted delicious!)

Clayton and Reese sure enjoyed it anyway!

Just one piece today - he'll get that whole thing on Sunday!!

Clayton got covered in frosting too!

Then Reese got some "shape sorting" done with Papa:

We opened presents, and Clayton liked to help and play, too:

Reese thought that the tag that came on the firetruck was a new and special little book, just for him! He has really been getting into books lately (well one in particular called "Baby Wants the Moon")

Reading his "new book" - AKA the tag....

Showing "the book" to Papa

Then, Reese did a little "birthday dance" The theme song for Thomas the Train had just finished playing (on the TV) when Darrel finally got the camera started. He had done this all through the song, and then continued after it was over - he must have still been hearing it in his head.
