Four!

Our sweet boy is four!  We gave him a couple options, and he decided he wanted to celebrate with a pool party this year.  We think it was a good choice- there is not much that makes him happier than swimming!

We swam for about an hour and a half, then we moved into the gym for a hilarious game of basketball.

After basketball, we moved into the party room for pizza and cupcakes.  These were some worn out kids, hooray!

That's a wrap, folks!

We opened presents the next day. And the day after that. It's a sloooow process.

At school with the assistant principal

Nathan and I visited to read Brady's favorite book (The Little Engine that Could)

And we brought a snack chosen by the birthday boy (apples and fig newtons)

I let him choose a special lunch after preschool- McDonald's.

Small Fry says he can get on board with that idea.

Finally, his Lightning McQueen cake at home on his actual birthday.

He really got into the birthday song this year. We must have sang "Happy Birthday" 10 times in a row, complete with candle-lighting!
