Birthdays for....most

May is the birthday month 3/4 of us have a birthday in May. It makes for lots of celebrations, or just celebrating Max's birthday in a big way.

May 15th -
O The Birthday Boy, The Birthday Boy! Max turned 4! The night before he said "I can't wait to go to bed so I can wake up and be 4". His birthday landed on a preschool day so we celebrated with a party at school. The kids loved singing and he loved being the special one. For his special day he chose to go to lunch with daddy for a cheese sandwich at In n Out and for dinner it was fish (Cod), broccoli and carrots (not a joke). We headed out onto the porch after dinner for cake and to try out some of Max's new gifts.


He couldn't wait to ride around the block like a "big boy"



For days he carried these around his neck. Sometimes he would turn the around because he said "we were too close".



Cupcakes....the unfrosted is daddy's
That night after baths he said "Mommie, Today was a great day". That is exactly what we wanted so I guess mission accomplished.

The next day was his 4yr old check-up. He could have waited another year for his shots but we had already talked about shots and being brave so we went ahead and did them. He is now ready for kindergarten (in 2013).

He was so brave that after the shots he got to go to Toys R Us and spend his Geoffery gift card (was given by Toys R Us). He chose army guys and couldn't wait to come home and play "army guys" with dad.
