Stevie is 3!!

For his birthday this year I asked him what kind of party he wanted, he didn't hesitate, he wanted a mighty machine party. For those of you that have no clue what a mighty machine is it is any large piece of machinery, such as construction vehicles, large trucks and cranes. We get to see them everyday as most of the neighborhoods around us are under construction and Stevie is first to point out every single one of them, every time we drive by them!!

Stevies birthday was on a Tuesday this year so we planned the party for the Sunday after. On his actual birthday we decided to let him go to the toy store and pick out one present for himself, whatever he wanted. He was quite excited as I was silly and told him in the morning what we were going to do but we didn't go until about 2:00 in the afternoon. He must have asked 100 times "When are we going?". He stepped one foot in the store and he knew he wanted trucks of some sort for his present. I showed him all the Spiderman stuff and the Pirate section he liked them but he wanted mighty machines. So we got a 50 piece mighty machine set. It comes with 6 or 7 trucks and a bunch of pylons and warning signs. He was so excited he had to carry it himself...well the box was almost up to his arm pits so it was quite funny to watch him! We opened it as soon as we got home and he was off with them digging in the rocks and playing in the grass. He even slept with them that night and has had at least one of them every night since.

He loved all of the phone calls he got to wish him happy Birthday, ever since that day almost every time the phone rings he thinks it is for him and he has to talk!

Well the day of his party we got hard hat party hats to go with the mighty machine theme and Steve roped off the front door with Caution tape as if it was a construction zone. The cake was a whole construction site with 3 mini mighty machines for Stevie to keep. Steve was so excited to have all his friends over to his house to play! We opened presents first and as usual we were overwhelmed by everything. There are some pictures of some of the gifts, he got Spidermans stuff, Pirate stuff, Cars Stuff, Mighty Machine, sport/outside stuff, a bike, gardening stuff, a drum set (thank you Granny & Aunties) and lots of clothes, plus a tonne of other stuff!! The little wheelbarrow came in handy when he was helping dad build the fence!! The party was a hit and it seemed like everyone, especially Stevie had a great time!
