Max's third birthday

Max, Ella and Madeline have been anticipating this birthday since Ryan's three months ago.  Ella climbed in my bed, already dressed to inform me, "Mom, it's Max's birthday today.  What are we going to have for breakfast, and for lunch and for dinner".  Birthdays evidently yield more exciting foods in our home.  

Madeline and Ella hung signs around the house, specially drawn for Max.  They also handed him and paper towel tube which contained their present for him, drawn pictures of various dinosaurs rolled up inside the tube.

We had a fun day.  Fruit Loops for breakfast, McDonalds for lunch, and Mac n Cheese for dinner.  We ate cake and sherbet and then played with Max's new toys.  We told everyone what we remembered of the day Max was born, which invoked many memories of Richmond

I think I should always start off a birthday with Tennis in the morning.  Just an idea, but the rest of the day seemed such much more delightful, having spent an hour playing in my league.
