Daniel's 3!!!

Hurray for birthday celebrations!!!
Our middle man, Daniel Cole is turning 3 (ALREADY!) Not sure how that is even possible, but I guess it just sneaks up on us! (His actual birthday isn't until the 16th - tomorrow.)
We had lots of fun with lots of friends at one of Daniel's favorite parks in Temple -- Whistlestop (the boys usually call it the train park since it's right by the downtown train tracks.) It was a beautiful summer-like day in central Texas!

The Big 3!!!
Sweet smile!
So excited about cupcakes with 3 M&Ms each!
Doing dangerous tricks!

Getting big boy advice from Uncle Chris!
Having fun playing.
Daniel with the "big boys" -- the sad thing (for this Momma) is that he fits right in with them!

Singing happy birthday (and trying to get the candles to stay lit!)
Making a wish!
Enjoying his cupcake -- I mean M&Ms and icing! Ha!
Emma, Cash and Luke
Luke and Faith
Michael, Katharine and Andrew (very serious about cupcakes!)
Pinata time!

Hitting what was left of the pinata!
