IT'S BIRTHDAY TIME

Saturday was my birthday party with all my family. It was so much fun. I am now 4 - an official big boy. My mommy made me a construction cake and we had construction decorations everywhere. We played games like wrecking ball and tossing a ball through a big tower mommy and daddy built out of boxes. I got all sorts of presents too - things to build with, drive, read, wear, and shoot - yes, my uncles have determined I need shooters to play with.










Always have to wear safety googles when using a chainsaw.



I believe I can fly.....


On Sunday, we celebrated my official birthday. Mommy made me another special cake that I was able to "dig in to". I used my loader to scoop up cake into my dump truck and then onto the plates. I was pretty much covered with cake and frosting when it was all over - but it was a blast.

CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF JESUS

I just love this time of year as we get to spend a ton of time with family and give each other gifts to open. Mommy and Daddy made sure that we took time to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and on Christmas Eve we took some time to sing Jesus Happy Birthday!
We had three Christmas gatherings and spent time with our family. We had a lot of fun playing, laughing, and eating...

I put myself in a box - Mommy's favorite present.
Christmas day was spent at home with Grandma and Grandpa Apple. The day just flew by, but we had alot of fun playing with all my new toys and enjoying some time outdoors.
I got a great loader for digging in dirt and sand which is one of my favorite things to do. We were able to put it in the snow on Christmas Day.

This is my new shirt that I got - it is so cool - I love Spiderman - however, I just keep growing too fast and the sleeves were already too short - even though it is a size bigger than what I am already wearing. I grew a 1/2 inch in two months. I am almost as big as my daddy. I will be four in a few days - watch me grow!

On Friday we spent the afternoon and evening at Great Grandma and Grandpa Apple's house - it was so much fun and always plenty to eat.


Hanging out with my cousin A. We love to chase eachother around and play with the farm equipment at Great Grandpa's house. Dad used to play with the same farm equipment when he was little like me.

Grandpa Apple is so fun - he lets me jump off the furniture - Mommy was in the kitchen so she didn't know what we were doing. For some reason, she doesn't think I should jump off the couch at home. It is not like I will get hurt or anything...

Saturday we had the McDonald Christmas and my cousin's S, T, M, and K came over to play with me. Me and M got matching Curious Georges. He sleeps with me every night now.


This is my favorite snow buddy - he never goes away!
