Lane, surrounded by several of his newest toys from his 3rd birthday party. What a great day!

As you can tell from the evidence, Ethan greatly enjoyed his first birthday cake!

Lane enjoying his 3rd birthday cake, a Tommy the Train engine cake, which his mom, Erin, did a fine job on!

Lane exploring his new Tonka truck, which, thankfully, comes with a lifetime warranty. We may just explore the limits of the warranty on this one! We promptly took it outside and transferred several truckloads of pea gravel from the driveway to the grass! Glad to help, dad!

Lane got this hard-hat with his new Tonka Truck, and I think the hat was a bigger hit than the truck! (It reminded him of a Bob the Builder hat, I'm sure...) He wore it from then on, I think. Another happy boy.

I wish you could have heard the squeals of delight that accompanied this great smile, as he patted my head. This was one happy boy! And, of course, one happy grandad!

Grandson Ethan on his first birthday... how's that for a happy smile? By the way, we're taking the batteries out of this siren sounding fire truck! But it was sure a hit!
