Pigtails & Pirates

These are Bailey's first pigtails! Isn't she just adorable?

Collin got A LOT of Legos for his birthday, and this is his first project.

4 years old!

Collin had a great 4th birthday today! I was so determined to make this day fun for him since he's had to endure a lot of stuff lately that was not fun for an almost 4 year old. He's been super throughout church visits, long car rides, hotels, and many nights out of his own bed (the kid loves to sleep in his own bed), and meeting tons of new people. He's been so anxious about moving that I wanted to make sure today was really special.

We started our day with a breakfast celebration with one gift-a Darth Vader t-shirt from Uncle Stu.

Then, after someone came to take pictures of our house, we went to Dave & Buster's for lunch & games.

He also got to open one more present, a special one from Mom & Dad. (A few months ago Collin decided he needed a watch "with letters"-meaning numbers & hands instead of digital, so we got him a Lightning McQueen watch with his name on it. I'm not sure why he decided he was ready for that, since he can't even read a digital watch, but maybe he can learn from his new one.)

After the games we turned in our tickets & redeemed them for lots of cool prizes.

We we got home Uncle B & Grandad were waiting for us. So we played with them while we waited on Grammie to arrive. Then we had more presents, pizza, & birthday cake.

I think Collin had a great day (at least he said he did)!

Here's a link for some pictures from the day:
