Lucas's Birthday Parties

We had a couple birthday parties for Lucas for his birthday this year.  There are a lot of pictures, so get ready.  The first party was with all his church and preschool friends.  Lucas helped me make some cupcakes to take to the party.

 He was really good at adding the sprinkles.

 I thought they turned out pretty cute.  I've gotten better at using frosting tips.

Here's the birthday boy.  He looks so grown up!

 We went to a park with a huge slide.  It was a lot of fun.

Lucas, Paige, and I all went down together.

Lucas could hardly wait until all his friends showed up so that he could blow out his candles and eat his cupcakes

Later that day, which was his actual birthday, he got to open presents from some cousins...

And from grandma and grandpa George.

He also got a new booster car seat for daddy's car from grandma and grandpa George.  He's such a big boy!

The next day we had a party with my family.  My brother Neil and his family were in town, so we had extra cousins to play with.  We went to another park in the area.  Lucas LOVES parks.  He also loves his cousins.

I love this picture of him.  He was sliding down the slide and I took the picture at just the right moment.

Daddy and Paige are happy it's Lucas's birthday!

Scott and Becky are too!

There was a rock climbing area that he kids really liked.  We have a bunch of monkeys in our family.

Even the babies got in on the climbing.

The park we went to is also a splash park.  It was a little too windy and chilly for getting wet, but the kids didn't seem to care.

The babies decided to swing rather than get freezing cold.

We had some pizza, fruit, and cute mini bundt cakes that grandma brought for dessert.

Then we opened presents.

Our present to Lucas this year was a new big boy bike.  He was pretty excited.

He has ridden his bike almost every day since he got it.  I think he likes it.

We had so much fun celebrating Lucas's birthday this year.  We're glad so many of our family and friends could come to party with us.
