If you have "Singleton" in your blood, birthdays are a really big deal and expected to last a really long time (especially if you are Alyssa Singleton Taylor :) Therefore, I am proudly passing on the birthday traditions to my kids. And as I explained in a previous post for Sam and Drew's birthdays, we have instituted "birthday week" at the Taylor house. Mac's birthday week was filled with Thomas decorations, special treats, cupcakes, and a farm trip and finished up with a birthday celebration on his actual birthday, September 30.
Mac was so very proud to take Thomas cupcakes to his Awana class. He was equally proud that he helped to make and decorate them.
My Aunt Cheryl spoils my boys rotten. Packages arrived all week for Mac and was he ever excited to open them up. But even more excited to find each package filled with a Thomas toy! He loved it all...thanks, Aunt Cheryl!!!

Some of our friends that came over to share the special day with us. We are so blessed to have such great friends surrounding us here in Missouri that love our boys!
I had to put this picture...anytime that we go to someone's house, the kids all take off their shoes. How sweet and well-mannered is that?!? I was grateful :)
Mac was pleasantly surprised to receive gifts from his friends
Everyone getting in on the action
Someone gave Mac this costume...and buddy, he thought he truly morphed into Thomas when he put it on!
And let's not forget the "party" that my parents had for Mac when they were with us in mid-September. We went to a yogurt shop, and they let Mac load up his cup with whatever he wanted. And of course, balloons were present so Mac would feel like it was a party :)
It is still so hard to believe that my "baby" is already 3! He is the sweetest, most kind-hearted little boy that I know who loves all things Thomas, Baby Drew, and candy :)
