Correction to Dallin's Third Birthday Blog

Towards the last of the blog it should have read...with all the presents from family here, new friends and his Grandma and Grandpa Kellogg...it was like a mini Christmas. It is so nice that Dallin is loved by so many!

Dallin's Third Birthday

Dallin had his third birthday celebration at the Forest Creek Park on October the 1st. What a celebration. He invited all his nursery and play group friends. There was quiet a crowd and Dallin loved every minute. It was so fun to see him so excited over friends, family, cake, pizza, presents, balloons, goody bags and playing at the park. You could tell that all his dreams came true. To Dallin, it is very important to share these special times with good friends. I am so glad that especially since he has only been here two months that he has been embraced by his community. It was so special for all of our family to be there. Will, Tammy and Maddie are even here (what are the chances for the whole family to celebrate with him?) Papa made sure that he stayed in town for Dallin's big day. He left the next morning at 3:00 am. It was a long day the next day for Papa, but he wouldn't have missed it! Papa picked Michael up from school so that he wouldn't miss the big event via the long bus ride home. All went well and Dallin will remember this special day for a long time. He is now playing with all his loot. With all the family that was here, new friends, and Grandparents from Utah...it was like a mini Christmas for the young lad. We love you Dallin and hope you had the best birthday ever.
