He had an absolute blast on his birthday! I let him plan our day (for the most part) and he loved "being in charge." We went to the park for a birthday picnic which ended up being awesome because it was a homeschool family picnic and TONS of friends were there. Then we celebrated with cupcakes in his classroom at church and I made the whole lesson on Noah's Ark. It was pretty fun, but maybe a little confusing having a second celebration because after church Noah asked me, "Am I five now?"
Here's how we celebrated:
 |
| Noah woke up to a few gifts from Mommy & Daddy and each brother. |
 |
| These two crack me up! |
 |
| What a handsome four year old! |
 |
| That's right we let him put sprinkles on his pizza. :) |
 |
| Birthday cookie- yes, with sprinkles! He thought screaming would blow out his candle. Such a Noah thing to do! |
 |
| Mommy stayed up LATE LATE LATE (you can tell b/c that last tiger cupcake I made is missing a smile... opps!) making animal cupcakes for our Noah's Ark birthday celebration at church. |
 |
| So excited on the way to church! |
 |
| Me telling the kids what happened to me four years ago when I woke up in the middle of the night and my belly hurt... |
 |
| Noah's ark story- each kid got to put a flannel piece on the board. (Another LONG Mommy project, but so worth it!) |
 |
| Homemade Pin the Tail on the Donkey Game. :) |
 |
| There are so many kids in our class, so I decided to also make a Pin the Tail on the Pig. |
 |
| Hot Potatoe |
 |
| He CRASHED when we got home from church. |
 |
| Down for the night- my smart four year old by who discovered if you don't get inside the covers, you don't have to make your bed in the morning! :) |
 |
| First four year old achievement- made it half way across the monkey bars!!! |
