Eric's birthday in Cincinnati

Eric had a pretty good day on his birthday as well. He spent much of the morning at a neat train place we have near our house. It's kinda like a Children's Museum with a train theme, and Eric definitely enjoys the train toys.







After playing outside a bit in the afternoon it was time to have a party with Grandma and Grandpa Flannery. They came over and Eric got a look at his ice cream cake, which he was pretty pumped about. After a quick birthday song everyone dug in. Mmmm... ice cream cake.







After the cake it was time for presents. Natalie was definitely willing to help Eric out :-) One big highlight was the new car that Eric got. As you can see, Dad had plenty of help putting the thing together. Eric even decided to test out the car while it was only half assembled.





Another highlight was the new Thomas train set that Eric got. Lots of choo-chooing going on around here lately.


Perhaps the most popular toy of the evening was of course the big box that the car came in. Both Natalie and Eric had a great time with it. Perhaps for Christmas Santa should just shop at the empty box store?
