Hiram's 3rd Birthday

All Hiram wanted for his birthday was a sprinkle donut and a balloon. He was so happy just to get them he didn't even want to open his presents - what a great kid!

About two weeks before his birthday Hiram took up watching cooking shows. He saw a whole show about cakes and asked me to make the one he wanted.

Two days before Hiram's birthday Scott and I thought of a present that he would love - a picture dictionary. So I decided to look for one. I found this one at a garage sale the next day. It is in great condition and, once we finally convinced him to open his presents he was so thrilled he wanted to read the entire book!

Hiram's other present was a viewmaster and some reels. He saw this at a toy store with Grandma. He was so good about playing with it and then when it was time to leave, he put it down, said goodbye and that maybe he would see it again at his birthday - what a happy reunion it was!
