Happy Birthday Alan!

When we were in Oregon, we got to celebrate a very special day.  Our big boy turned 3!  He was so excited and we had a fun filled day.  There is nothing quite like a birthday in the eyes of a 3 year old.

We opened presents that morning.  He loves to play with little animals these days.
As you can see, he fared well.
Apparently he was quite concerned that someone might take away his Curious George book and felt the need to guard it with his life.
Ahhhh, that's better.  Grandpa got his fair share of reading in while we were in Oregon.
Alan was so excited to ride on the "Max Train."  Here are some sweet looking Robertson  boys.  Unfortunately Grandma couldn't come and we missed her greatly.
Where else would we get off but in the Robertson Tunnel?
To celebrate Alan's birthday we went to the Oregon Zoo!  He was thrilled.
It was a beautiful day and so many animals were out and active.
The tractor was a hit as well.

As was the petting zoo

The zoo was so big we only got to see a portion of it before two little boys were pretty tired out.  Alan especially loved the elephants and luckily they were one of the last things we saw.
Alan helped Grandma make this special teddy bear cake.  He did all of the jelly beans all by himself.
We had a bbq, played some games, and had a little homemade pinata.  All of which made for a very happy little boy.
What a great guy on a great day.  Happy birthday Alan!  We love you so much!
