Happy 4th Birthday, Xander

Today is a very special day in our house.  The little one that made us parents is now 4!  It’s so crazy how fast these past 4 years have flown.  Hubs and I waited 10 LONG years for a precious child to call our own.  Xander was an answer to our prayers and is the most perfect addition to our family.

Xander, you had such a great 4th birthday.  You woke up at 1 am and had a big stuffed Ninja Turtle in your bed, so you were excited and had to come tell mama that you thought maybe he flew in your bed.  Your thoughts are cute buddy.

Before breakfast you requested to open your presents.  Sissy was so cute and excited for all your presents.  She sat in front of you and giggled the entire time.  She gave you a train and it moves on it’s own.  You gave her a big hug.  You love it!

Your cousins were supposed to come today to help celebrate, but Talyn came down with the flu so they had to stay home.  It would have been a miserable ride for her otherwise.  And…mommy didn’t want all of us to get sick especially since your still getting over having strep throat and scarlet fever.  You kept telling me that you just wanted Talyn to come because you were excited for her to sleep in your bed with you.  You’re so sweet!  We miss them but we will see them real soon!

Your favorite teacher, Ms. Kelly and her daughter Emily stopped by today to wish you a  happy birthday.  You had fun playing with Emily and showing them all your toys again.

We headed to the trail today, but you, Sterling, and mommy hit the trail before the main trail so you guys could practice riding your new bikes.  You are a pro on yours buddy!  You’re fast!

We then headed to the park to play.  You loved being “fireman Xander” today and looking for treasures.

You helped mommy decorate your Ninja Turtle cupcakes that you picked out from pictures off Google (search engine).  You loved the way they turned out!  Mommy thought they turned out funny looking and more like Oscar the Grouch with a mask!

We video chatted with your cousins and you said you had so much fun talking to them. You and Bode were laughing so hard!

You requested Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner and loved every bite!  It’s your favorite meal and you want to take it to your friends at school.  You’re so thoughtful, but we’re not going to take your friends a meal.

We sang happy birthday to you and you showed us your ‘embarrassed yet excited’ face.  I love seeing it!

After getting ready for bed, we played a game of toss the ring on the cupcake.  You loved it!

You were so cute today.  Anytime I’d ask you what your favorite part of your birthday was, you’d always say whatever we just did.  So everything ended up being a favorite.

You are Mr. Funny Face lately.  You love trying to get people to laugh with your “funny face.”

I’m so excited to see what the future holds for you little man!
