The Dixon Family: Our Birthday Boy

Dallin celebrated his 3rd birthday on Sunday. These are the portraits we got taken the other day. Isn't he a handsome boy?

Before General Conference on Saturday morning, Danny took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's per Dallin's request months ago. Megan and I stayed behind due to her pooping issues and having no place to wash her bottom at Chuck E. Cheese's. They had a great time.

Dallin's birthday fell on both Easter and Conference this year (the Easter post is forthcoming). Lucky boy! First thing in the morning on Sunday Dallin saw a decorated family room. He loved that. We made his cake while Daddy made him a big birthday breakfast, which consisted of pancakes, grits, eggs, and grapes - all of Dallin's favorites.

After breakfast, it was on to opening presents. There were a LOT thanks to extended family and it took a good while to get through them all. He really made a good haul.

After Sunday morning's session of Conference, we had a delicous Easter dinner made by Danny. Then, of course, it was cake time. Dallin's request: a green cake with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles. He opted for three candles instead of a "3" candle. He loved every bit of that cake!

We love you, Dallin Boy! Happy birthday!
