HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY, KNOX!

“I’m the birthday boy!”  Grandson Knox celebrated his 4th birthday today. He’s all about Minions these days, so he wanted [and got] a Minion birthday party.

His cake was a D.Q. ice cream cake with Minions on top.

Around the cake were characters from Cars which he also loves.

He recently discovered the joy of Avengers superheroes, so these posters rounded out the decorations.

Birthday presents and birthday balloons

He’s been excited about his birthday party all day to say the least

He could not wait to tear into all his gifts

Opening his presents came first before cake

Lots of Minion gifts

And more Minion gifts

Party people ~ cousins Sarah, Julia, Elijah and Shelby and Aunt Holly and Grandpa Neil

Knox did receive non-Minion gifts ~ he loved this Paw Patrol set and also Avenger action figures



The singing of the Birthday Song

Blowing out all those candles

Party people ~ Elijah, great Aunt Jane, Sarah and dad Kerry and mom Kelly

Happy 4th Birthday, Knox!! Hope all your birthday wishes came true today. Granny and Grandpa love you so very much!!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, KNOX!

Grandson Knox celebrated his 3rd birthday this evening at his house with family and friends. He loves the TV show Paw Patrol, so that was his party theme this year. He picked out the decorations for his delicious Dairy Queen birthday cake.

He was super excited all day about his birthday.

A balloon bouquet from Granny and Grandpa ~ turning 3 is a big deal. He also loves anything Thomas Train and the Cars characters, so those played a big part in his celebration, too.

Every time someone came through the door [Great Aunt Ann in this case], he ran to greet his party guests.

Paw Patrol is on a roll!

Pictures with the cake and his #3 ~ Mom said, Smile, Knox, so he did. He had a lot to smile about today.

We sang the Birthday Song

And he blew out his candle [thank you, Don Foy, for this great shot]

The DQ cake was scrumpdillyicious! We all had [smurf] blue tongues and teeth after we were done.

Knox couldn't wait to tear into his presents ~ best part of the party for the birthday boy

He had a great time opening his gifts


He even endured the reading of the birthday cards

But who needs cards….

….when it’s so much fun to see what’s inside that birthday wrapping paper


While Knox surveyed his loot gifts….

….the adults tried to figure out how to put the toys together ~ once they figured out how to get them out of the box

Motorized T Rex shot darts and was way cool as he walked along the table. Knox received many most excellent gifts and was pleased with them all. He enjoyed every second of his 3rd birthday and probably won’t sleep at all tonight.


Happy Birthday, Knox!! You are such a bright spot in our family, so full of personality and fun to be with. Granny and Grandpa love you so very much!! [thanks for sharing this great picture, Kelly ~ that face says it all]
