Happy Birthday! Part IV

Well, it’s been an absolutely exciting weekend for you, because Thursday was your 4th birthday.

Well hello, Gymboree!
Well hello, Gymboree!

We started the morning like we did on the last two birthdays; a morning surprise birthday breakfast. And you got to take cupcakes to school that Mommy had made you. That night, you got to eat at your favorite restaurant for dinner (Hunan Manor), where you delighted in those sweet veggie ribs you like so much.

So what have we here...

On Friday we went to the Columbia Mall and saw the big Christmas “tree” made of Poinsettas. You were sufficiently impressed. And you visited your favorite store (Marbles Games).

HEY. That's just FLOWERS!

Finally, Saturday was the big event; your birthday party at Gymboree. Several friends from your pre-school class were there (Jackson, Grace, Heidi, Sejal, Senuth, and Sara). We also had some neighbors and friends join us too;  our next door neighbors (Gina, Ryan and Garrett), our down the street neighbor Kirin, Rohan and Saoirse, our NEW friends Shaun, Tricia and Ellie, and finally our friends Colin & Beth. You romped and stomped but the real fun came when it was time to eat pizza and cake. You couldn’t get enough of your Mickey themed cake. To top that off, you got a LOAD of really fun toys from your friends and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse from Mom and Dad.

Work it people, work it!
Work it people, work it!
OK, lets see if we can get this table to float.
