party pinata.

mr. trent tucker picked out his own present for his buddy ryan.

what 3 year old doesn't love a pinata?

ryan and ella had great fun.

each took a few whacks at the dinosaur.

lizards that stick to the wall.

organic fruit roll ups.

and

whistles that sound like someone is tooting.

very trent tucker style.

especially when they are this sweet.

happy birthday.

ryan is officially 3 years old.

we had a ballon party to celebrate.

(per his request).

...

it was wonderful to see his eyes light up.

when he came home from school today.

we had the entire house filled with balloons.

...

and at the end of the party.

as we were outside saying our good byes to everyone.

ryan slipped into the house.

he locked the front door.

and proceded to have himself another cupcake.

...

these are the little moments of sweet reality.

happy birthday buddy.
