My baby is FOUR

Last week my littlest turned four.  I'm ok with it... mostly.  It's just weird when I think about the fact that my oldest was four when I had him.  It really does seem like forever ago.  Life has really flown by these past few years.  One of the biggest struggles for me is slowing down and living in the moment.  We, like many others, are so extremely busy with work, school, sports, church, etc and it doesn't leave a lot of down time.  We have definitely started cherishing our down time more.   
I made this collage of him over the past four years...  I could stare at this forever... he's so stinkin' cute!

So, due to busyness and weather we kept little mister's party sweet and simple.  We celebrated with immediate family and it was perfect.  He wasn't overwhelmed with gifts and there weren't a thousand kids running around.  We ate pizza, we opened presents, we had cake & ice-cream.  He was happy!

Here's a few pictures from his celebration...

So, now I must prepare myself over the next 11 months for the big FIVE birthday.  Five is a big deal and that also means next year at this time we'll be registering him for Kindergarten.  Oh boy!
