Birthday Boy!
 |
| Auggie is 3!!!! |
Opening Presents
Very exciting for a 3-year-old!
 |
| The selection |
 |
| Yippee! |
 |
| Spectators |
 |
| The first gift - a small red package with blue ribbon |
 |
| A train! |
 |
| More trains! |
 |
| Opening presents took all of Auggie's focus. Getting him to smile for the camera was a bit overwhelming. Believe me, he was thrilled. :) |
 |
| He was so happy that he couldn't even smile–seriously! |
 |
| Notice Eland getting in on the action. |
 |
| A $20 bill, whoohoo!! |
 |
| A fishing game! (Auggie came in my room this morning with the fishing pole attached to the turtle. He's pretty into it. ;) |
 |
| What's this with the bow? |
 |
| Ooooooo! |
 |
| A bike!!! |
 |
| Eland is wondering when he'll get to inherit it. |
Thank you to everyone who sent gifts!! Auggie now has a fantastic Thomas the Train collection, and he loves everything he got! (You will get your thank you notes -- eventually!)

*Note: Yes, Eland did turn 1 this July and I still do owe him a birthday post. The catch is that we had his party in Chicago, so I didn't have any family begging me to post pictures. ;)
