To celebrate our big boy's special day we went to McDonald's for supper where he enjoyed a cheeseburger and a yummy fruit and yogurt parfait that he got to eat with his very own spoon. That alone made his birthday as he is currently in love with utensils. Then we came home and let him open his gift from us, which was a Tonka dump truck and front loader hand-picked by Daddy. He fulfilled all our hopes by his "oohs" and "ahs" and the way he stepped back from them as if he were so in awe he couldn't take it all in. (Christmas will be fun!) As the grand finale, Mason got to see Aunt Sarah tonight. She stopped to give him his gift, which was a great little wooden wagon full of wooden blocks. Again, he cooed and oohed as he carefuly unwrapped it.
He was having such a good time...until he tripped on some wooden blocks and hit his chin on the back of his new dump truck! Poor guy was injured by his own birthday gifts. I'm telling you there is not enough room in our home for all these toys!
We love you and celebrate your life, Mason!
Some pictures of our day...
Enjoying his time with the parfait and the spoon.
This birthday gets a thumbs up! (Still enjoying the spoon.)
When we asked Mason how old he was, this is what we got...we're working on it. :) 
Considering his beverage options... 
and the Happy Meal toy selection. Ooh, tough choices. 
What's in there? Peeking in as he opens his new Tonka machines.
Riding in the back of his new dump truck (before the injury).

Hee hee! I don't think I get tired of looking at pictures of Mason and his many facial expressions!
And Beth, you are expressing joy that we each feel about our little ones! It is a pretty cool adventure.
Some very proud Grandparents told us about your blog and as we've heard lots about Mason, we've also heard about his parents.
I love this post about watching your kiddo grow. We seem to think that each stage of the kids' lives seems to be the best yet, including the typical two's that seem to last for at least two years. We are all so fortunate that God chooses each of us to parent his beloved children!
Blessings,
