Birthday Party celebration

These aren't the best of pictures because the lighting in the skating ring isn't that lovely. But you will be able to get the just of what is going on. When we first arrived, they had let the kids go skate for an hour. Then we came together and had pizza, cake and opened presents. Then the kids went off and skated some more (or played video games)

Daddy and Christian are going for their first time around the ring.

Grace and Pa playing

I love this picture. This little boy is 10 days younger than Grace. She is looking at him like "Did you see that?" It looks like they are having a conversation among themselves.

Christian and Blake skating around.

Most of the party goers eating their pizza.

The sign that the skating ring had made up for Christian.

His cake. Toy story 3 of course!


I sent 18 invites to Christian's classmates. Only one showed. This is Acacia. She was so shy at first but right at the end of the party she loosened up and took Christian's hand to go skating. So cute.

Christian's friends, Cody (on left) and Noah (on right)

Not sure what they are laughing at but it sure is cute!

We are singing happy birthday to Christian and he had this little grin on his face just watching all of us. Acacia, RJ, Christian, Noah and Cody. Also at his party was his cousins Jackson, Brandon and Blake.

That's some good cake! RJ (on left) Noah (on right)

And Christian opening presents:

Grace was chasing the lights on the floor

Then on Monday (his actual birthday) I took cupcakes up to his school for him and his classmates. What I learned was NEVER EVER get blue icing again. It stains. Not only the mouth, lips, teeth, tongue and little fingers but it stains the clothes too. I'm sure I have some moms that are upset with me. Oh well. My little boogers had fun. And all the kids went home looking like smurfs. :)

When we got home later that evening, we had a package from B'nana, Papa and Uncle Jeff on our porch!! Christian opened the package while talking to B'nana and was surprised to see a Woody costume in the box! Oh he was so stinkin' excited!! While he was playing his new Toy Story 3 Wii game, he was also wearing his new Woody costume.

Here he was still on the phone with B'nana and just had his cowboy hat on.

*Sigh* Another year gone by. I keep trying to get these kids of mine to slow down some but they won't. 4 years old. I blink and he will have kids of his own. I cherish these times. :)
