Pure happiness

James had a fun 3rd birthday weekend!  We woke him up to tell him it was his birthday and we got a sweet video of him being so happy.  We got Connie's for breakfast and went to the baseball fields for a tournament.  Mimi and Grandy brought James and Hannah back early from the tournament to have a little party at their house for him.  They strung lights in their living room, ate dinner and dessert, and let James open his presents from them.
James asked for a "Thomas the Train choo-choo", "pay-doughs" (play dough), and a "Minja Turtle toy and pillow".  Nana and Granddaddy gave him a Thomas the Train play set and play dough.  Mimi and Grandy gave him the Ninja Turtle talking Mikey toy and the Raphael pillow buddy that he sleeps with.  Mommy and Daddy surprised him with a nice stable play set.  The boys and Hannah gave him some horses for his stable.  Mommy put the stable together while James and Hannah tried to climb in it like it was a playhouse.  The day after his birthday, James went to help Mary Lyle celebrate her birthday, and he got to ride on a horse-drawn carriage...over and over and over again.  I thought he was never going to get off.  He was so happy to see the horsies.  Joy was radiating from his face.  We will celebrate his party with friends at the fire station on October 8.
