Jack's 4th birthday fell on a Wednesday this year; a school day for the girls, but not for him. So, we quickly had our traditional morning breakfast consisting of cinnamon rolls with a candle and sang 'happy birthday' to him before the girls got on the bus. I added some mini donuts and applesauce in as a bonus.
Sophia was smiling so big that you would think that we were celebrating her birthday!
Big wishes!
For dinner, Jack chose to go to Culver's (one of our favorite places), so Steve met us there after work. (Right before, I had taken all of the kids with me for Samantha's dentist appointment and it made more sense for Steve to meet us there rather than to come home and have to leave again).
We came home immediately after so that Jack could open his gifts from us. He was so happy with each and every item that we chosen and wrapped for him
These two ... they can fight like cats and dogs, but mostly they play so well together and just plain love each other.
We framed a picture of Jack's first bike crash for him so that he can put it in his room. He loved it!
After gifts, there were TWO things that Jack wanted to do to finish out his day of celebrating:
1. mow the lawn
2. go for a ride on the 4-wheeler
Steve made sure that both of those things happened (such a full evening!) and still made it inside in time for a bath and pajamas. And then? Jack insisted on modeling his new bike helmet that he got from us for his birthday. He has been riding without training wheels (!!!!!) for a few weeks now and we wanted to make sure that he had a safety helmet for riding around now.
The next day, he took treats in for his friends at school. He chose brownies and I surprised him by adding gummy frogs to the top. They were quite a hit!
