"My Rocket Ship Birthday!"

This little squirt woke up super excited to be FOUR! ("Just like Preston is 4." We heard that a lot today.)

He started the day off at Joy School & got a great Thomas the train book from Jen.

Then a quick lunch with mom & off to preschool with Dad. Then we got his rocket ship birthday cake decorated.

He was super excited to see it!

He spent most of the afternoon protecting his presents from Eliza. Whenever we came in the room holding her he would beg us not to put her down for fear she would take all of his presents and he would have nothing left.

We had a great time opening presents & then we had some friends over for cake. Andrew got lots of bug & safari stuff & after cake all of the kids all went out searching for bugs & had a grand time of it.

One thing I've never noticed any of our other kids do before is how Andrew opens presents. He opens one, leaves the mess, gets another and moves to a clean spot on the floor to open it. Then the process continues. Hence the floor looking like this. It was rather comical to watch. Rick also asked Andrew how it felt to be four & he replied with, "Happy! Happy just like Preston!"

Here he is before blowing out his candles while we sang to him.

Happy Birthday, Squirt! We hope that being 4 is as exciting and happy as your birthday was! We love you the most & you love us the most! Hey, we're twinners! Jinx!
