four

his day started with a birthday wishes from his boys at breakfast then a dedication on the radio.

i knew it was coming so i had my memo recorder ready.

he listened to it the rest of the morning.

next up,

birthday donuts with his class.

complete with plates, hats, and most excitedly....cups.

an edible bouquet arrived after lunch from grandma and grandpa.

he enjoyed a few pieces before nap but insisted we save the rest for his party.

birthday dinner of mac and cheese and green beans with the parks, michelle and cade.

we threw some chicken and salad in there for the adults.

a present treasure hunt ensued.

then the special requested butter cake with fresh strawberry center and lemon frosting.

still not  a fan of the flames but managed to blow out his own candle this year.

declared this was the best day ever before bed.

as it should be...

it was all about him.
