Today is Mark's second birthday! What a delight this little fellow is! His big brown eyes are so expressive and he is such a happy guy who loves to talk (mostly one word at a time although he is putting two and three words together more frequently) and play with toys--mostly construction or farm equipment. For his birthday he received a toy skid loader (which he excitedly kept repeating "doe-doe") and a combine. He was so happy and overcome with joy that he couldn't decide which to play with. He kept going from one to the other and then eventually settled on the combine for a little while. The combine is pretty important since his daddy has one and of course it is the time of year when they are being used in fields. He kept asking for the heads to be switched so he could go from corn to wheat! It was so cute! His sisters admired his new toys and wanted to play with them too, but whenever they touched one Mark hollered, "share! share!"
The cake made by Kristen was awesome and perfect for the little farmer boy. I love the video where Lydia can be heard in the background saying that she wants to blow out candles too and Kristen tells her that she will light some for her after Mark blows his out.
We love being invited to our grandkids birthday parties. They are special and momentous occasions for the children and we are glad to share it with them. As I have said many times before--thank you Lord for grandchildren!
Opening the skid loader
It was hard to get a picture because he was moving so fast but you can see the delight on his face. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of him with the combine.
