Well, my little angel turned 3 and to celebrate we had lots of pressies and a party at Lollipops. This year was definitely THE YEAR for Luke to realise what was going on – so excited all day – opening his cards and seeing what was on them, and then the presents and playing with his toys. Very aware of this age – is walking around saying “I three” all the time – just so AWARE this year.
We got Luke a huge climbing frame which is set up in the lounge (just what we need!) while winter is here. He had outgrown his baby one and loves his new one – he’s like a little monkey on it. I set it up the night before and then put his pressies in the middle of it, and covered it with a sheet – wasn’t going to wrap it up, that’s for sure!! In the morning, he had a blast unveiling the frame and then seeing the pressies underneath. Not sure what his favourite was but he really liked his guitar and microphone set, and spent a lot of the morning being a “rock star” (to quote him) and putting on shows for us – LOL 
Then it was party time in the afternoon and he was spoilt rotten by everyone with their gifts. Had 12 friends join him at Lollipops and we had a great time. Only bummer was as soon as we turned up, the big blow up slide burst and was out of order for the whole party… and of course, we had being talking about it all the way there, as Luke LOVES the slide.
Then on the way home, we stopped off and got McDonalds drive through for dinner – just what we needed, more junk food. But it was rather late and the birthday boy needed feeding.
The next day we picked up a present from Aunty Robyn and Uncle Mike – a keyboard with microphone!!! They definitely hit the nail on the head with that present. So you can imagine the ‘shows’ that are going on at the moment – it’s either the guitar or the keyboard – he is SUCH A PERFORMER!!! Loves to sing and dance, and loves the fact that both his instruments amplify his voice – maybe he’s like his mummy and likes the sound of his own voice – LOL!!
Here’s some pics of the big day (to see an image bigger just click on the photo):
Happy birthday Luke – isn’t it great when they “know” what its all about. Shame about the slide but I’m sure he still had lots of fun.

Hi Debbie – LOL re David – sounds like a cutie. Got the frame at Farmers – but I’m sure I’ve seen them elsewhere. It’s brilliant – have had heaps of kids over and it’s like a magnet. We’re also covering it with a sheet and making a fab tent out of it!!!
