Birthday pictures and a video.

When we celebrated Tripp's birthday last Tuesday when my sister was here, we also had a photographer/friend (Summer Boyd from Summer Boyd Photography) come to the house to take some pictures.  Since my sister was in town and my brother was coming in from Baton Rouge, we thought it would be nice to get some family pictures done... since we've never had any!  But while Summer was here, she also took some snapshots of Tripp with his cake.  Thank you Summer!!  My aunt Mary made his cake again this year.  Wasn't it cute??





Saying "thank you" for his cake:) Sweet boy!





So excited about his bell from Nanny:)




"Yay, Tripp!"


Saturday, (his actual birthday) I decorated with balloons and streamers and we celebrated with Randy, MeMe and PawPaw Carey, Randy's brother Ryan, and Maw and Paw Robicheaux.  MeMe brought another cake and we just played with Tripp and opened presents.   He was in a good mood for most of the day and played his little heart out with all of his new music toys. 

Sleeping angel on the morning of his birthday:)


Huge thanks to Ponchatoula Bakery for donating this beautiful and HUGE cake for Tripp's birthday. 
 It was delicious! 




He wasn't thrilled about trying to blow out his candles:)




                            




And here is a video from when my sister was here.  Please excuse our singing... it's almost unbearable.  Try and concentrate on the skills of my little drummer boy, even though my video somehow cut out before he played Happy Birthday:(  
But how cute is he with his little drumset?? 


Love,

    Brilliant, I tell you!! During Twinkle Twinkle, he hits the symbol for when you sing the higher pitched part~then goes back to the drum for the lower parts...That is AMAZING! I love that he has the wonderful gift of music to bring him so much contentment! He makes me so HAPPY!

    My daughter Jillian kept clapping for 'more' each time he stopped drumming. She giggled her head off for 'twinkle twinkle'. Your little guy is reaching more people than you know. Thanks and Happy Birthday Tripp!
