4th Birthday Boy

AJ's birthday celebration spanned a few days last week, and he enjoyed every minute of it. Timo's dad was in town for a few days, so we celebrated with him before he left.

On the actual morning of his birthday, AJ still had two presents left from us to open. One was a "want" (Legos), and one was a "need" (booster seat). We had already gotten him a bunch of books back in August, so we left those as his "read," and his "wear" included clothes we had purchased a couple of weeks earlier. I really like the simpler birthdays, although he circumnavigated the limit by getting Legos on his cakes.

H wanted to sit in the seat, too.

I can't believe my sweet boy is already four. The past few years have really flown. He is such a blessing in so many areas of my life, and I thank God for the opportunity to be his Mommy.
