Voss' Little Moments: Caleb's 3rd Birthday!

Caleb only requested a few simple items for his birthday, which of course is during tax season, but I try to be accommodating for the Birthday Boy! He requested the following:

John Deere tractors
cake
cupcakes
balloons
party hats

I was sure I could make a themed party, but alas John Deere birthday party decorations are extremely difficult to find 5 days before the party! I did find some cute animal party hats & blowers, which were a huge hit! However, not so fun for Mom & Dad early in the morning - the kids wasted no time playing songs for us - did I mention it was only 7 am??

After I finally pried the blowers out of their hands, we went to church where Caleb got to put his pennies in the birthday cake! I told Caleb that was the same cake Mommy put pennies in when I was his age, but he was not very impressed! He was more concerned about whether or not he was going to get to eat the (plastic) cake. . . remember his requests??

After church was over we got a quick picture of Grandma & Grandpa Canning with all the Grand kids! What a good looking group of kids!

It turns out Caleb picked a pretty easy birthday theme, as far as decorations I pulled out all his tractors and set them around the house and used green and yellow (thank you Grandma Susan for finding these) handkerchiefs. Caleb didn't care for my choice of decorations, so they weren't there very long!

We had lots of friends & family members join us for the celebration - those I did catch on camera: Uncle Kevin, Aunt Jane, Great Grandma Lill, Great Grandpa Bob, Great Grandma Lois, Grandpa ken, Mike and Angie!

It was finally time for cake - Caleb blew out the candles with no problems! Wonder if he wished for cupcakes or tractors???

Of course, after cake we need cupcakes! After all it was a specific request!

After cake is present time! He did great at opening all his own presents! He got the same card about 5 or 6 times - the first card was from Grandpa Rollie & Grandma LaVon, so each time he opened the same card he thought Grandpa Rollie was giving him another present! It was so funny!

The big moment finally came to find out what was in the red bag . . . Caleb looked at that bag all day and kept asking to open it . . .now was the big moment (well it was after Daddy untied the knot)!
