happy birthday luke!!

Once again, all too soon, it is birthday time for Luke! He woke up to presents from Mimi, Big Pop (as Luke has re-named Papaw), Bethie and Uncle Brad.

A wheel Matchbox Car case--didn't all little boys have one of these?

Playing with Mimi and all my new construction Playmobils....

And of course, new books!! Thank you!!

Then after a day of playing and meeting Daddy at this office for lunch, Luke got to pick out his birthday supper (hot dogs and sweet potato fries) and then his birthday cake. Again his choice: yellow and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Now he was very specific that these be seperate yellow cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes--NOT yellow and chocolate swirled cupcakes. Don't ask me why.

Good to that last lick...

So after baths (trust me, they needed them) Luke got his Mommy and Daddy presents. He only asked for two things--a scooter and some peanut butter cups. So....

This is his face walking in and seeing the scooter in the living room..

And going for a ride!!! It is a big hit.

Tomorrow is the big party. I'll get pictures of that up as soon as I can!

On a personal note, I cannot believe that it has been four years since this little person has come into my life. Four really is, to me, the last official little boy birthday. He is such a kid now and there is no little boy left in him. A very bittersweet birthday for me. OK, that is my sentimental waxing...I am done now. ;)
