Happy Birthday Liam

It really seems impossible that three years ago I was rocking Karsten before bed thinking it was his last night as an only child.  Now, we can't imagine our family without Liam.  He's a joy and such a character - you never know what he's going to do or say.

He and Karsten are the best of buds and love to play together.  They know how to push each others buttons and do it often.


Since Liam's birthday is today but his party is tomorrow, we opened his presents from us tonight.  The biggest hit was a spaceship that I picked up on a whim, I thought he might have fun with it.  It was a success, it provided endless entertainment - the red and blue space men played in the rocket, in the launch capsule, in the farm, you get the idea!


Liam was covering his eyes so he didn't see the giant dino that converts into a bunch of different things.  Karsten was watching him with his 'eagle eyes' to make sure Liam didn't peek.


Karsten quickly talked Liam into believing that the dino transformer was a 'family toy' (aka Karsten gets to play with it...a lot).  Between the spaceship and dino, the boys were entertained for the whole evening!


When they woke up the next morning, they started right where they left off.  We spent much of the morning getting ready for the party and they played all morning.  Birthday present success!
