Chad enjoyed several days worth of celebrating for his 4th birthday! As we drove down to Jeff's mother's for dinner on Sunday the 4th, Chad asked, "Is this the first day of my birthday?" After a little explanation about how we only have one "birthday" but we might celebrate it on different days, his birthday festivities for the week began! That night included balloons picked out by his cousins Abby and Cannon, dinner made by Grandma Hobson and Aunt Tricia, a shared cake with his Aunt Tricia made by his Uncle Clay ( a pink cake for Tricia with a #4 for Chad), super fun presents, and caramel apples! We all had a great night!
On Monday Chad got to play in the morning with one of his best friends, Landon. They then enjoyed lunch and playing at McDonald's. This was their party together since Landon couldn't make it to his party on Thursday. As you can see, I forgot my camera! I also forgot my purse, so I owe Jamie lunch money! These pictures are of Chad and Kyle playing with the cool Aqua-Doodle and puzzle book that Landon gave him and which they both love!
The third day of festivities which was really his birthday, was supposed to be simple and fun! I never learn! I think I got the fun part, but it was nowhere near simple! He woke up to his present from us, which was a tool bench to start off the Bob the Builder party. (This belonged to our neighbors and came with tons of cool tools. We thought it was a must to prepare the boys to be able to work with their Dad in a few years!) He then went to preschool with his buddies. He has so many friends that he just loves playing with, so we had them all over! Hey, I used to teach more than twenty kids, I can handle ten, right? No, we really did have fun, and all of his friends were well behaved and had a good time! He was totally spoiled and has been enjoying each and every one of his new toys and games! You'll notice a piece of cake on the floor in one of the pictures. That was totally ME! None of the kids spilled except for crumbs, but I totally dropped my piece of cake! And, you'll notice the birthday boy had one of those "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" moments! He cheered up and played the rest of the time!
To top off all of his birthday fun, Chad got to go out to dinner with his Dad and brother to the Spaghetti Factory. Dad gave him an awesome Star Wars Lego shirt and a pair of Light Sabers! He loved it all! He ended the night by talking to his Grandma and Grandpa Blunck on their mission! The speaker phone made it so they couldn't understand him, but he loved it, they loved it, and I loved it! What a week!

It wears me out just looking at all the pictures!! What a very fun time for a wonderful 4 year old little man. He sure has great parents!! xoxoxoxo from the faraway grandparents
I know it was a lot of pictures! Sorry for those who aren't interested, but I warned in advance that I didn't know how to leave things out with this whole blog thing! I think as I'm doing it, "my friends want to see thhese pictures, but my family wants to see these pictures, and oh this is a cute picture," so I just leave them all in!
No no, what I meant was the pictures represent A LOT of fun activities--we love the pictures--it's just that I think all that FUN, let alone planning and executing it--would wear me right out. That one little girl is sure cute, eh, Chad? Keep up the good work--it's great to have them in a slide show. xoxoxo
That's funny Grandma said that, because Wes and I were looking at the pictures and he was interested in who those girls were. Chad's girlfriends? I think he wants to take one of them. Very fun birthday parties. We tend to drag out the parties too. You've been busy Mommy Liz. Can't wait to see you next week.
Shouldn't you have your wonderful news on your blog?????????
