~Party Animal~

Easton had such a fun birthday weekend! On Friday we went to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point with a couple of neighborhood friends! Dan was able to take a long lunch from work and come along as well, which was a special treat! We decided that for a fun birthday tradition, we will go out to eat for dinner, and so we let Easton choose where he wanted to go and he chose McDonald's! The new McDonald's in the District seriously has the best playplace I have ever seen, and we spent a good 2 hours there at least! Our good friends Steve & Keira came along with us, and we had such a fun time! After dinner we went to their house and Easton opened up one gift from us (since, after all- it was his real birthday!). We bought him UNO-MOO! Such a cute cute game for his age, and Easton loved feeling like a big kid and playing with us! On Saturday, we had a family party at our house! He loves all of his cousins so much, and it made it special to have some of them over to celebrate!


Happy Birthday [BIG kid]

Today is a day that he's been waiting for!
HaPpY BiRtHdAy, we love you!

Little tid-bits about Easton:
*He is always a happy boy... even when he's not.
*He still is LOVING music, when he listens to songs he can name if it's a boy or a girl singing, and can identify if drums, guitar, piano, trumpets or violins are being played. He also recently discovered HSM, and really loved it.
*The other day he told me that I was his best friend... MELTED my heart.
*Right now his favorite toys are his "mack" trucks for his cars, coloring on his white board, reading library books, and guns (even though we don't have any...) Also- he is begging for "little legos with the yellow guys".
*Potty training is going really well, not 100% quite yet, but we can be out all day and I keep him in his undies.
*He still talks about going to school, and can't wait for the day to come.
*He can't wait for his baby brother to come so he can show him all of the "baby toys" that we have.
