Drew's train birthday

We like to extend our birthday celebrations. Drew's celebrating began with a trip to Northwest Arkansas for a Christmas train ride. We saw some Christmas lights and rode with Santa, a reindeer, and a teddy bear. Our car's heat was broken, and we didn't find out until we had already left the house, so we borrowed from Grandma Perea and Ben and Maggie and bundled up in some unconventional clothes. Drew enjoyed it as much as we had hoped and talked about it for days afterward.

The day of Drew's birthday we went to play at The Wonder Place and he discovered the table with tracks for trucks, cars, and trains. He loved it! We had Macaroni and Cheese for lunch and went to Chick-fil-A for dinner with Grammy, Grandpa, and Great Grandma Cornett who drove in just in time for dinner.

The next day we had a little party for him with both sets of grandparents and Uncle Brock and Harmony. I made him a train cake (with coaching from my mom and grandma), and his reaction was a great reward for the effort. He got lots of fun gifts like two train sets, lots of train and truck books, a fireman costume, and more! He was thrilled and didn't even want to leave his train to go blow out candles and eat cake.

We had a great time celebrating Drew!
