Dean turned three on Sunday, January 13th! We had a fun weekend celebrating. Dean has been anxiously awaiting his birthday since we celebrated Baylee's in September. He informed me during everyone birthdays since then that he wanted a chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream. The theme of his party changed from month to month but it always had to do with a Mighty Machine of some sort. His last requested birthday cake was for a tow truck. I decided that meant a Mater tow truck. (You have been warned, this is going to be a long post with lots of pictures)
The first activity of the weekend was to visit Daddy at work. When
Daddy has a little boys dream as a work place who wouldn't agree to an
hour drive and 35 degree weather to fulfill that wish. We took lunch to Paul and then headed out for a drive around the golf course.

| For Dean's 1st birthday we took a picture standing in the same spot! |
 |
| I love this face. |
 |
| Who doesn't want to roll around on a tee maker. Funny Girl. |
Next activity: drive the loader.
 |
| This is one happy three year old. |
 |
| He maybe just a little annoyed that he has to stop and take a picture. |

We finished the trip off by playing on a few more Mighty Machines. I think this was the highlight of his birthday. So glad Daddy has an awesome work to visit.
That night we celebrated his birthday with his cousins. Once cousins are around, pictures are just a nuisance. This is the best picture I could get with him and his cake.

| Dean and his Mator cupcakes. They kinda look like Goofy, so I'm just clarifying. :) | |

 |
| The Party Games: Tractor Tipping. This was a real hit. |
 |
| Then we had a punch box with a few treats. |
 |
| Opening Presents: he loved his new swords and books. |
Blowing out the Candles!
 |
| This was the first year he wasn't scared of the fire. :) |
Morning Birthday Balloons.
 |
| Dean wakes up around 4:45 so Mom wasn't awake to take pictures of his morning balloon party. |
We are so grateful for this energetic little man. He keeps this mama on her toes. I love his independent nature and strong will. He is such a joy to have in our family. Love you Mister Dean!
