Instead of having a party for him this year we took him to the Southeaster Railway Museum in Duluth. It's just an old warehouse with old trains inside and some outside. They also have train rides, but the day we went they were not working because it was so cold. Garner didn't seem to care and really appeared to enjoy it. I'm not sure if it was because he loved the trains or he was able to run around. A couple trains actually went by while we were there and he stopped and looked when he heard them. We had a lot of fun and a tired boy afterwards.
Garner's actual birthday fell on Monday before Raleigh went back to school. During the day we worked on icing his cake and I had a little critiquing from Raleigh. :) Luckily by the time it was finished she said it was perfect...whew! Grandma cooked and Nana & Granddaddy brought chicken and we ate at home and opened presents. It was a nice relaxing birthday and I don't think Garner cared that we didn't have a big party! :)
