Dylan and Zoey's Birthday

Dylan turned 3 yesterday, which he interprets as "9".  That makes perfect sense since he's been telling everyone he's 8, just like his big brother.  He also thought it was "Open Presents Day" as opposed to his "Birthday".  Oh well, he'll figure it out eventually.  Open Presents Day is basically the same as a Birthday and 9 is 3 squared...

Party favors stuffed by Owen.

Our friends Anica and Clayton and Amelia came to the party along with Nana and Papa.  We ate Dylan's favorite dinner, Chicken Divan with rice and bread. 

Zoey took a little while to warm up to the festivities in her honor.

You woke me up for this?

But she cracked a smile when we brought out the cake!

Amelia, Rob and Christy look on as Zoey is presented her birthday slice.

Zoey wonders Now what?

Daddy tries to blow it out.

Of course, Dylan knew what to do. 

And then, OPEN PRESENTS TIME!

Happy Train Table Day! 

Opening his trains from Lolo and Lola.

Anica watches as Dylan unwraps and gathers his toys.

Opening his boat and helicopter from Papa and Nana.

He loves the toy Summer wrapped up and passed on to him.

Olivia wanted to be in charge of helping Zoey open her presents.

Ball!

The present Summer wrapped up and passed on to Zoey.

Saveia, with Mommy's help, made some Thomas puppets for Dylan.

Saveia also made a gift for Zoey.  A mobile to hang above her changing table.

I did help Saveia with the mobile but it was her idea all the way.  She is quite the crafter!!!
