Jefferson has been waiting for March since I told him it was coming pretty soon in January. In fact, we were once going to march around and clean and he was so excited because if we were going to march, it was surely his birthday! Well, he finally made it and was so happy about his special day that this was his smile going to church (before any cake presents or anything!)

After church he played with his brothers while I made dinner and we got ready to celebrate - never once did he demand to see his presents or eat his cake, which is good b/c nothing was wrapped or baked at that point:) For the cake disaster see below. We had dinner (which was labeled "disgusting" by all the kids) and when Libby and Scott arrived we gave Jefferson his presents. He got a Thomas the Train track with trains he can watch go round and round, a baseball and bat (thanks Truman), and a Bob the Builder game and giant Kit Kat from the Murri's. This is his excitement over the game specifically, but it was a face we saw with each gift. This is such a fun age.

He was so interested in his presents Brian had to bribe him to let us blow out candles and cut the cake. Jefferson LOVES ice cream and enjoyed his dessert for about 45 seconds before heading back to the trains. We all enjoyed McKinley singing Happy Birthday for the real occasion this time.
I don't have a picture, but I let Jefferson eat his gigantic Kit Kat the next day in one sitting - like eating 3 or 4 regular size I think. He broke it into tiny pieces in a bowl and I thought he was going to ask for milk on it and a spoon. Everyone enjoys the new toys almost as much as our biggest kid.

And here is what I was watching from the other side of the room - picture perfect family harmony for at least half a second:)

This was a GREAT birthday update!! Jefferson is so cute and looks so much older. I do love the "perfect family" picture. Your house is looking pretty classy too. We love Jefferson and we are so glad he had such a gret birthday.
What a great birthday! Hinckley LOVES Thomas the Tank (you'll have to let me know where you got that train set:) too Jefferson. What a lucky boy to have such a loving family. I'm loving the cake story. What happened to you once is what happens to me EVERY time I bake a cake:) But it doesn't matter, the everyone devoured it anyway, right? Chocolate is chocolate is chocolate! We love you Jefferson!!! (Oh and I love the new living room. Wow. If we ever buy a house we going to have to have Brian come over and teach us some of his skills!)
