Happy Birthday to Evan!

Tuesday Evan turned the big 3.0, and we celebrated with cake and presents. First, the presents. Here the birthday boy opens the gift from Grandma and Grandpa Turner (a set of interlocking plastic blocks like Legos but for smaller hands--way cool):
Next, with his homemade gift, an apron sewn by Summer:
Being our kids, he also got some books:
And my favorite, a marble race set with interchangeable pieces for building all sorts of fun ramps, loops, and towers (I've played with this every evening since his birthday after the kids have gone to bed):
And here he blows out the candles. The cake is chocolate with a chocolate ganache between the two layers and a caramel frosting (super decadent):

Those marble race thingies are addicting...wish we had one here. Hmmm...

He is so BIG! I just love his smile. And, that cake looks super yummy. Even though its very late, Happy Birthday Evan!
