Bode's 3rd Birthday


Bode celebrated his 3rd birthday on Sunday (the 28th). We were up in Breckenridge for the weekend and it was a perfect little day. My dear friend Kristen was smart enough to bring along a train cake pan--now how cute is that?! Yes, my decorating skills could be honed, but he thought it was great and it made for a much more exciting cake time than otherwise would have been...Kristen has 2 kids--Kate who is almost 3 and Jack who is 21 months. Our plan for His Day was to ride the gondola up and down as many times as we could, but unfortunately it was not operating when we wanted to do that (it hit a guy getting off so they shut it down for a bit). So we walked down to the riverwalk area and looked at the snow sculptures (the annual International Snow Sculpture competition) and Bode went down a snow-slide. We walked back to the gondola, but still no luck. So we went back to the condo for lunch and cake celebration and presents. Bode was so fun. He loved the cake. He loved the presents and kept wanting to give one to Jack to open, too. He was most excited by the rocket launcher Kate and Jack gave him and the kids had a lot of fun breaking it in.
