Birthday Boy Max

Last week was Max's fourth birthday. It is hard to beleive that he is so old. He is getting to be such a grown up boy. I have a hard time sometimes realizing that he is no longer a toddler, but a little boy. His birthday was on Friday. We gave him a barn playset that I made along with a toy tractor and some farm animals to put in the barn. I think he likes the gift, because he put it in the window by his bed. Anything that he likes seems to go there. I guess he likes to have it close. His dad made another yummy chocolate cake, but it did not turn out as well as Emily's. It looks good in the picture, but on the side closest to Max it is pretty much falling apart.

On Saturday Max had his first friend birthday party. Max wanted a Dinosaur theme for his party. (Dinosaurs are a big thing with Max right now, thanks in part to the PBS show "Dinosaur Train".) The kids decorated a dinosaur mask, and then they hunted for dinosaur eggs. They played a lot of games, and they seemed to have a lot of fun. I made Max a dinosaur cake that I forgot to take a picture of. After the cake and ice cream Max opened his presents. I couldn't believe how excited all of the kids were to give Max the gifts they had brought him. It was actually quite fun to have a household of four year olds for a couple of hours. They have such cute little personalities. It was really fun to watch them play and interact with each other.

Happy Birthday, big grown up boy!
