God, we thank you so much for this sweet, little boy. Our prayer for our children is that they would increase in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. 
The cake was so yummy!
He loves all cars, but Lightning is the coolest car!
The birthday boy with all of his party guests. Thank you for coming to celebrate with us. We love y'all!
He enjoyed playing "Mater, Mater, Lightning", our adapted version of "Duck, Duck, Goose". 
The Thomas the Train set was one of his favorite presents.
Here he is, showing off all of his birthday goodies. For the last 2 months, every time he'd see something he liked, he would ask, "Can I have this for my birthday?" Once his birthday had passed (Nov. 30), the next question was, "Can I have this for my Christmas?"
He has definitely gotten the hang of opening presents.
The birthday boy chose to eat lunch at Chick Fil-A. Ice cream is a must for any birthday.
Chicago is our favorite city to visit---one of the reasons is the great food! D&J, thanks for this incredible trip.
The Children's Museum is fabulous!
On our way to the Navy Pier.
Hanging out at the hotel---I think we're waiting for our pizza to be delivered.
Drake, can you believe we stayed at The Drake?
Thanks, D&J, for taking our whole family along with you to celebrate Thanksgiving in South Bend/Chicago this year. It was a great trip. It was so great being with Aunt Dot for Thanksgiving. She is such a sweetie! She is also very strong---she amazes us and inspires us with her vigor, perseverance, strength, independence and spunk. We love you, Aunt Dot!
