a celebration


Today, we celebrated The Mayor's 4th birthday.  Although his official birthday isn't until Tuesday, the party was today.  And to say The Mayor was excited would be a huge understatement.  It was so much fun seeing his excitement.  This is the first year he really understood the whole birthday thing and having a party just made his year.

When he woke up this morning, I brought him into the kitchen to show him his birthday cake.  "Lightning McQueen!!!" is what he yelled.  He couldn't wait.

His party was from 10AM to noon which was perfect.  We had the entire bounce house place almost to ourselves for the first hour and just when it started to get a little crowded, it was time for us to move to the private room for food and cake.  It was awesome.

The kids had such a blast running around from bouncy house to bouncy slide to ball pits to the wave slide...It was 80 minutes of non-stop running and fun.  After the group photo, we took all the kids into the private party room and passed out the pizza.  It was eerie how quiet 14 kids were.  Seriously, you could literally hear a pin drop.  That is how hard they played...they were too tired to do anything else but eat.  After we sang "Happy Birthday" to The Mayor, the kids enjoyed the yummy cupcakes and cake.  This took us right to noon and then it was time to go home.  I was shocked both kids made it home without falling asleep.

When we got home, The Mayor opened his gifts.  He was so excited with each gift he opened.  He wanted to open each toy and play with each toy immediately.  We kept telling him to just make it through the pile and then we could play with them all.  It was stimulation overload!!  Just how a 4 year old's birthday should be!

The birthday fun will continue tomorrow morning when we take The Mayor, Love Bug, MeMe and Big Daddy to our favorite doughnut shop for breakfast, and then right through until Tuesday when I bring cupcakes for his class and have a special dinner for The Mayor that night.

I can't believe my baby is 4.  I guess my baby isn't a baby anymore.
