McKinley's 3rd Birthday

Yesterday, February 27th was McKinley's 3rd Birthday. We woke him up singing Happy Birthday and with a doughnut birthday pile (you have to get creative at 5:30 in the morning). Next it was present time!
Wow, what is it?
New trains! Now we have 105 instead of just 100!
Around lunch we headed over to McKinley'e preschool for a little birthday celebration and cupcakes!

After school and a nap we gave McKinley his next birthday present. A new red radio flyer bike. At first he didn't like it and got really frustrated with it as you can see in the video below.

After a few trip around the yard and the garage, he finally started to get the hang of it.


To end McKinley's special day, we had another yummy cake and pizza per McKinley's request.

We celebrated McKinley's birthday yesterday. Here are some pictures from our day!

Thanks to Miss. Nikki and Miss. Amy for bringing Cookie to the party! Cookie was a big hit and everybody loved him.
Cowboy McKinley!

Addie feeds Cookie a carrot snack between rides.

Bonnie Kay was not too sure about Cookie, but eventually warmed up to him!
Molly Margaret as you can see LOVED Cookie!


We all enjoyed yummy cake.
Maggie especially liked the icing.



Thank you to everyone for all the great presents!

MGM Studios

We finished up our trip at MGM.
We tried to see The Muppet 3-D show, but somebody got a little grumpy while we were waiting, so we left. Here is the grump with his glasses before we left.
We went to the Toy Story Arcade and played for a little bit.

We had a really fun time in the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" play area. Here is McKinley and his daddy on a BIG ant.

Mommy and McKinley sliding down a big roll of film.

We found Mater and Lighting McQueen and got a quick picture.
We also found Sully and Mikey for a quick picture.
We ended our trip to MGM at the Disney Playhouse show. We saw all of McKinley's favorites like Little Einsteins, My Friend Tigger and Poo, Handy Mandy and everyone from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Here is McKinley dancing with the gang.

Breakfast with Mickey

This morning was our Breakfast with Mickey. This was my favorite part of the trip. McKinley got to meet all of his favorite characters and got lots of autographs for his autograph book.
Here is McKinley swinging his napkin during the "Celebration" song. (yes, he was suppose to do this)
Donald Duck and McKinley with his birthday cupcake!
Make a wish!
