Finny's 3rd Birthday!

We rented a little room at the Family Museum. They had games and music and it was really cute.


These are the next-door neighbors and some kids from Finny's school.


It's funny, this is the same cake topping I got last year, for his second birthday. This time I had it professionally decorated though, and *surprise* it was much better.


All his friends "helped" him open presents.


I love this picture. These two girls are so adorable.


Finny's camera smile. Even after I told him to "smile naturally." This is a cute little fire engine at the museum.


At the museum they have this awesome water park outside. It is probably Finny's favorite part. Unfortunately, he splashed water on himself and soaked the front of his pants, and all the little girls wouldn't hug him goodbye afterwards.


Finny's dump truck and front loader, gifts from the grand parents. As predicted, the first thing he did when he got them was pile in all of his toys and cart them around.


I got some additions to his train set for his birthday, and I spend about 2 hours building this with him! He has lots of fun "helping" me, but sometimes he'll say, "I don't like this part!" and knock over a triple-tiered loop that took 20 mins to build! Oh well, it's still fun though.

Then, when he operates the trains, he likes to sit on that little bench by the wall. He likes to make them crash, of course, while I prefer the beauty of crash-free travel.

Of course, even after spending two hours building the train set, there is always the imminent threat of construction vehicles nearby. Because the only thing Finny likes better than building a train set for two hours with Mommy is tearing down said train set in less than a minute.
