We now have a big 4 year old in our house! Since Noah's bday fell midweek this year, he got to have a day full of celebration both on his birthday and then again later that weekend for his party. Here's his actual bday recap. Try to see if you can figure out the theme here...
He started the morning off with some snuggles and cartoons in bed with us followed by opening his presents. One small hitch with the gifts--I didn't realize he really wanted this talking t-rex hotwheels track he'd mentioned just one time not too long ago. After he opened all his gifts, many of which were dino related (that's the theme!), he had a minor meltdown crying because he didn't get talking t-rex. Thanks to Uncle Thomas for coming to the rescue with that later at his party! We definitely tried to use this as a life lesson for him and moved on.
We went out for donuts for breakfast, came home and enjoyed his new toys and had cupcakes in the afternoon with his best gal friends Ava and Elle. We then went out to Chick-Fil-A for dinner that night early before Mike had to go back to church. Minus the morning melt down I think he had a great day!

Cupcake Time!
We were thankful that Noah at least made it through his birthday before he got sick this year. He's had a trend going for the last year. Last year: Flu for his bday followed by a respiratory virus for Thanksgiving, an ear infection for Christmas and another virus for his bday this year! He started running a fever late Wed night that lasted till Friday afternoon. He didn't really feel bad but it put a kink it the party planning. We were down to the very last minute trying to decide if his party would happen or not. Ultimately, all the family decided to come in town and some friends were able to come (we missed a few due to Noah's potential germs plus one other family who ended up with sick kids too). In addition to the illness factor, mother nature threw us for a curve--we'd planned a backyard cookout with kids playing on the new playscape and digging for dinos outside. Instead we ended up with 100% chance of rain and temps in the 40's on Saturday. Yikes! I made some last minute changes in the activities for the kids but all the last minute planning made for a chaotic week! As you'll see in the following party post it was a huge success in spite of the chaos. Noah loved it and that's the best part for me.
