Adam's 4th Birthday

Just yesterday I was running out of the office to bring him into this world and now he's four - time sure does fly.  So of course we had to celebrate in our family way.

Friday we took cupcakes to school for Adam to share with his friends.  It was an odd day because we had a "winter storm" the night before - which translates into it rained all day, the temperature fell a little below freezing and there were a couple of flakes.  Grace's school was delayed two hours before being closed so both kids spent the day at Tutor Time.  After we picked the kids up, we went out to dinner.  The choice was On The Border, a Mexican restaurant.  As we finished our meal, Grace told the waiter it was Adam's birthday so they brought him a dessert and sang to him.  He loved it.  When we got home we gave him one of his presents so he could have it for his party.

Saturday was party day - the first time we have been able to have one of the kids' parties on their actual birthday.  He wanted an Avengers party so we put out all his superhero toys and got ready for his friends.  Seven kids joined us to celebrate.  Since the attention span of a group of four-year olds is limited, we blew up balloons for them to play with, played a quick pin the shield on Captain American, had cake and ice cream and then opened his presents.  Everyone had a good time.

Still can't believe my baby is four!
