The Birthday Boy

Talmage turned 3 yesterday! Surprise, surprise, he wanted a cars cake. So he helped me bake the cake and after I frosted it, I asked him for some race cars to put on top. He said, "OH! I have race cars! This will be perfect!"
Back of the cake.

We sang 'Happy Birthday' to him all day. And after every rendition he practiced blowing out his candles. This was a big year because, despite the increased number of candles, he is no longer afraid of them. After all that practice it took 3 puffs to blow out the candles. Side note: this morning, my dad asked him if we should sing 'happy birthday' again. He ran back over to the cake and said "Yeah! With the candles?"

When it came time to finally eat the cake, Talmage was so distracted by the presents he didn't eat a bite. Logan, however, thoroughly enjoyed his cake.

This is the first year we've bought Talmage gifts...haha, I know. We are super lame. After a gift from us and both grandparents, it was a pretty awesome birthday.
