What a wonderful weekend for a birthday party! We grilled out hot dogs and brats and enjoyed some of Patrick's favorite's including mac and cheese, chips, and fruit with dip. I made a train cake, which he enjoyed the taste more than the artistic piece. He was anxious to blow out his two candles and dig in! We gave him a wagon, which he was estatic about -- I was fortunate to capture his expression when Brian was pulling it out of the garage (see slideshow on the right). Immediately, he wanted to hook it up to his bike and haul it around, sister in tow. No surprise there. Other gifts included a slide from Grandma and Grandpa Bretz, books, toys, and balloons. We also purchased a swing set today for the kids, so it was an awesome weekend for Patrick!
Patrick was nice enough to share Daddy's lap and allow Lucy to enjoy her very first 4 wheeler ride around the yard. I don't think she will share the same passion for this activity as her brother, but she was OK with it today!
