Happy Birthday Micah

We officially now have a three year old in our house.  Micah had attended several birthday parties in the past year, and for the first time was excited about having his own party. We had his birthday party the Saturday before his actual birthday. We were planning to have it at a local park; however, the weather did not cooperate, so we hosted it at our apartment. I am so glad that I only allowed Micah to invite three friends, because with parents it was the perfect number of people to have comfortably in our small place. We had a play dough table set up and lined the hallway with big sheets of paper for the kids to draw on. We had a car theme, so we had play dough car molds and we drew a racetrack on the paper that the kids could draw cars on, or put car stickers on it, along with what ever else they wanted to add.  Both activity centres were a big hit.  We had a simple lunch of beef or turkey hotdogs—hotdogs are one of Micah’s favorites which we don’t have that often, so it was a special treat—with veggies and fruit. Micah got some wonderful books as gifts from his friends and I think everyone had a wonderful time.

On his actual birthday he opened gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Olfert and from us (earlier in the month he got gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Knelsen and Auntie Janette). He had fun playing with his new toys and after supper we all went out for ice cream. The next day we left for Florida…..
