Since Big Boy just started preschool, we thought a quiet birthday celebration in Plymouth with the family would probably be best for Grant's third birthday. Just a couple of weeks after his birthday, we had a three day weekend for Veteran's Day (which just so happens to be the day before our anniversary, and the observed holiday this year WAS on our anniversary!) so we went down to Plymouth for a little party. We had it on Sunday, and open presents during the Patriots game. Since it was our anniversary weekend, we even got some free babysitting and went out to dinner at the Rye Tavern, which was really good. It was crazy getting there though- the road is a VERY bumpy dirt road and you half wonder whether wild animals or feral children are going to jump out of the woods that surround the road. Kind of creepy, but the food was so good, that I hope we go back!
Grantie got lots of presents. Nauni, LuLu, the four of us, Grammi, Bean, Seth and Aunt Betty were all there to celebrate. KK went on a cruise with her friend Lynne, so we didn't get to see her but we know she had a drink for all of us!
Grant ripping open his brand new Big Wheels, just like Mommy and Daddy had when they were little. OK, well, CoCo had a Big Wheels, but Mommy rode it too! I didn't realize how big these things were. There isn't even wrapping paper big enough to go around it!
How many generations of Bailey's does it take to put together a Big Wheels? Answer: 3! Meanwhile, Grant was playing with a really cool Humvee that CoCoBrie got him that you can take apart and put back together using a toy (but really working) drill!
Meanwhile, Nauni and Seth helped Grant open some NEW Lightning McQueen jammies and bath soaps! He later ran out in them and said, "Look at my new jammies!"
Aunt Betty got Grant a really cool firetruck puzzle that makes firetruck noises when you put the whole thing together! He still needs a little help with this, but he really liked the sound of the firetrucks. And of course, some books- we can never have too many of those! Our favorite thing to do before bed is read a book (although Grant is getting good at the art of delaying bedtime by asking for two or sometimes three books!)
I ordered Grant's cake from the same place I ordered Natalie's birthday cake this year- at Bagel Bistro in Westborough. Love the dump truck with the colored sprinkles coming out of the back of it! He thought this was pretty awesome!
Here's Big Boy with his Godmother as he eats an ice cream cone with cookies and cream ice cream. He devoured that one!
Here's Grant with Mommy and Daddy and his very cool birthday cake. He's making his silly smile face, it's so cute when he does this! It was a very successful birthday party!
