Birthday Festivities pt 3

We wanted to take Miss M to a special birthday lunch this weekend to celebrate her birthday since Andrew wouldn't be home for some of the birthday festivities. We had learned of a diner in a neighboring town which was train-themed.  And since she loves trains...

We didn't plan very well because we got stuck in a lot of traffic and closed down streets on our way to the diner due to the local (and 2nd largest in the area) St. Patrick's Day Parade. We weren't able to go and thankfully Miss M is happy anywhere we go that serves french fries and ketchup so we altered our plan and went fast food!

We were able to go to the diner that evening and it was very kid friendly and fun. Miss M rode the train rides. We even gave her quarters to make the rides go!

They had a large chalkboard wall for the kids to draw on. 

And when you sit at the counter they deliver your food via a train. She was in heaven. She waved at the train each time it went around and said hi and bye.  

We went to open play at her gym this week also and she didn't want to leave the ball pit. They are so germ ridden and gross but she enjoys them.

She also really enjoys getting the mail with me everyday and was happy to receive cards in the mail. She considers getting a card in the mail a prize too. But again...after this week she is going to be sad when the mail isn't for her anymore but rather just bills and junk mail for me.

There are more festivities to come as we're celebrating Baby Jack's 1st birthday this weekend and there will be more presents there!
