Check out that smile. He was pretty excited it was his birthday.
He got to open one present at breakfast, so decked out in his party hat Eliza made for him, he excitedly opened it.
Bucket O Soldiers! (from Toy Story) Check them out!
We had to do a little school, but quit early to make a cake. A yellow Triceratops was on order. As I was slapping on the frosting, I wondered if I maybe should have hired my friend Stacey to make it instead. I'm not sure it looks like a Triceratops, maybe more like a friendly mid-evil dragon?
But I guess since the purpose is to please the birthday boy, I think I succeeded. He would run in every 10 minutes and report, "It's a yellow Triceratops!" Plus, who could question this smile?
It was a long wait through piano lessons until dinner, but we finally made it and even had a surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa Stoddard! Pizza was the request, but wouldn't know know it! In typical Samuel fashion, even that was hard to eat.
Finally, after cousins came over, it was time to open the presents.
First one: A tool belt! He wore it for the rest of the night.
And the present he had been staring at all day long! (drum roll please)...LEGOS!
Then came the cake formalities (he ate it pretty quickly!)
And on to more important things.
Happy Birthday buddy! We're glad you are in our family!

YAY! Four has been fun for us so far. Those pictures of his smiles are great! I think the cake looks exactly like how a kid would want a triceritops cake to look. Very cute! And you gotta love a bucket O soldiers! I want one! haha!
Wow! Somehow it's ok for my Sam to be 4 but not yours. Crazy. He looks happy (always the goal) and I think that cake looked awesome! And besides, it's the taste that really matters.
he is such a cutie! looks like a grand birthday for your four year old!!
