Finally Four!

The Birthday Boy!!

Aidan celebrated his 4th birthday last week.  He had a couple different celebrations to fit everyone in, and he loved it.  The Sunday before we celebrated his, my mom's and Travis' birthday (March is a big birthday month). 

Amy & Travis gave him these superhero transformers

He LOVED this pop gun that he got from Colby & Zach.

On his birthday he went to preschool with treats to pass out to all his friends.  They sang Happy 

Birthday to him (twice, he said!) and gave him a birthday crown, which he proudly wore for the rest of the day.

After preschool we had our cousins lunch at my Grandma's house.  We brought cupcakes to share with all the kids, it was like a birthday party that I didn't have to prepare for.  He had a great time playing with all the kids.

All the kids enjoying their cupcakes.  Aidan ate 3!


When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner he said, "Mac & Cheese and PB&J"  Not exactly the gourmet meal I had in mind.  I compromised and made homemade mac and cheese and some crispy chicken strips and broccoli, his favorite veggie!  He was pleased!

Still sporting the birthday crown. :)

Then we invited his grandparents to come have cake and ice cream and open presents. For the first time ever, I had to be in charge of a birthday cake.  Tucker's mom has always made the cakes for my kids, but recently broke her wrist and wasn't able to step in for this one.  So I did the next best thing and ordered one...a STAR WARS mint chocolate cake.  YUMMY!

He could hardly wait to eat it cause he really wanted to play with Darth Vader and Luke, especially when I showed him that their light sabers lit up!

Blowing out the candles.

Opening his presents...

A new Leapster game.

Grandma Judy & Grandpa Gary gave him this transformers car.

Star Wars action figures from his sisters.

and a Star Wars tent (yes there was a theme!)

Set up time...4 seconds.  My kind of toy.

And because he got a bike last year that he's still trying to figure out, a new scooter to get around on!

My favorite thing about this cute 4 year old is that he tells me at least 20 times a day that he loves me!  It never gets old.  We LOVE you, Aidan.
