Birthdaying

O is 3 today! We had the most themed birthday we've ever put together here; Thomas was on everything from pajamas to presents to the cake. 

I had an extra Thomas engine I had saved for the cake, and he was so excited to see it. "Look, Mama," he squeaked, "TWO Thomases!"

 I decorated his cake with both of them; he insisted. 

And then, later, as he played with his birthday train set, he found his other Thomas. 

 

...opened the fridge, and added it to the cake all by himself.

 

 He happily showed me his handiwork. 

So thankful to God, for giving me such. awesome kids. I love my three-year-old!!

You're Welcome, World.

I just wanted to put this recipe out there; it's the best baked cheesecake recipe I've ever found. I always make a special dessert to celebrate Sundays, and this has been it at least 15 times in the last year. 

We call it "Daddy's Cheesecake," and if you want a piece, you always have to assure Daddy that it is only a very small piece that you want.
