Lincoln's birthday party

Lincoln's birthday isn't until Thursday, but we celebrated with grandparents this weekend.  Grandpa & Grandma Boote arrived on Saturday.  Lincoln got to open one gift at night and enjoyed playing "monster trucks" with Grandpa Boote using his new monster bowling set.

Grandma Boote brought some fun new books along.

 Grandpa & Grandma Lorenzen joined us for lunch on Sunday.  Then there were more fun presents.

And cake, of course.  I'm pretty proud of my little creation using the star layer-cake pans from the library.  Thankfully, the train cake mold was checked out, so I didn't have to try to attempt something like that. ;o)

Warning note: Blue & green cake with bright blue frosting is really fun but does interesting things to digestive tracts.  :op
 
Emily did a pretty good job of being a big sister and letting Lincoln be the birthday boy, even though she was really tempted.  She did corral the grandmas into playing Sorry! with her, and she was pretty proud about beating both of them.
