We returned from the Texas State Fair to continue the celebration with an awesome spaghetti pie dinner (courtesy of GrandMouse), birthday cake, and presents. We had cocktails and an appetizer by the outdoor fireplace (1st time we got to use it - YEAH!). I threw in some blurry pictures of me just to prove I was actually present at the event. Thanks Emily for taking them! Unfortunately a lot of these are blurry iPhone photos. :( Dax's favorite part of the evening I think was the toast - because he loves to "cheers!" and he got a big kick out of the fact we were toasting his special day.
By presents, I mean he opened like one -Mouse's talk and scan cash register - which was a huge hit and he was happy playing with it for the rest of the evening. We spread the rest of the gifts out over the remainder of the weekend. He finally noticed the art easel Bert and I gave him Saturday morning- he has still yet to open all of the accessories. Emily came by again Saturday evening and gave Dax a cute train that spelled his name and The Little Enhine that Could book - a classic. Thanks Em! Dax received a tent/tunnel combo from Uncle Don and Aunt Tammy that was also a big hit once we finally got around to opening it Saturday. Bob and Terry have a sandbox waiting for Dax back home so the birthday fun will continue into November!
If you live or happen to visit Dallas and are in need of a cake, I highly recommend Society Bakery. They made Daxton's cowboy themed cake for me based off some ideas I found on the internet and not only did it look good, it was delicious! Daxton didn't want to wear his cowboy hat, so Bert did the best he could to fit it on his noggin'. :)
It was nice to have family join us even though we are so far away from home. Thanks to Bob, Terry, Mouse, and Emily for coming to the celebration! And extra special thanks to Terry and Mouse. Terry helped Bert keep Dax while I was in the hospital last weekend and my Mom flew out Monday to help me out all week. I would not have been able to pull the birthday weekend off as well without them. Thank you!!!
