Zeke is Three!!!

You ask, "How old are you now, Zeke?" Zeke excitedly holds up three fingers on each hand, thrusts his arms into the air and shouts, leaning forward, "I'm threeeeeeeeee!"

That's right! Zeke is three years old today! And such a blessing he has been to us! Today, Dan offered to carry him up the stairs since it was his birthday. He said, "Daddy, birthday boys don't need to be carried." He also went outside to the playground at our workplace (where we could still see him, by the way) and looked after Kaiyah for us. Ah, they grow up so quickly...

We celebrated the occasion yesterday, when we went with some friends to a local mall-type place to ride kiddy rides. We then came home and ate taco salad and train cake and opened presents. Zeke had a lot of fun all day.
This morning, we surprised Zeke with a doughnut breakfast in bed. He didn't seem so excited at first, but he grew into it quickly. We also gave Zeke his last present, which was a tee pee and a tent, with a tube that connects the both. He found it when he came out to the living room and was very happy, but asked, "Where's my other present that I get to open?"
Anyway, we've had a lot of fun the last two days and we thought we'd share a little bit. If you'd like to see other pictures, click here.
