Quinn’s “REAL” 4th Birthday!!!

So, here’s a post for the blog book! (and the grandparents!) Just a little wrap up of celebrating the big F.O.U.R. with our first born.

It was a fabulous weekend. The party was on Friday and the celebrating continued on from there. We came home from the party and Q was SUPER excited to open all of his presents. WOW is an understatement!

Then, on Saturday, Slickpaw had the great idea for us to go to the Rainforest Café. Quinn loved it and was too darling pretending to be a gorilla while they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him. You could tell he felt so special and super cool! (Sadly, Daddy couldn’t join us…he was speaking at a Men’s Retreat!) Quinn's 4th 004

We woke him on Sunday morning with the video camera and singing. He was a doll and SOOO excited! Look at his face seeing the birthday pennant. So sweet.

And, what’s a trip to Freebirds without some foil sculpting.

When we got home, Quinn was surprised with his yummy Mammer-made cake. What a treat that she makes his birthday-day cake each year. And, needless to say, he loved it!!!

After some snuggle time and pictures with his baby, he finally got to rip into all of the presents from us and Mammer & Slickpaw. He was spoiled EVEN more…getting every Imaginext thing he could ever want…and more! What a blessed little man!

We took our annual nose picture and spent the rest of the day at home playing with all of those amazing new toys. He even chose to stay home and eat PB & J for dinner so that he could keep playing.

He thanked us and Jesus for his perfectly blessed day. What a sweet FOUR year old love we have! We absolutely LOVED celebrating him.
