Happy 4th Birthday, Calder!!

This past Tuesday we celebrated my first born son's 4th birthday. It's hard to believe that almost 5 years ago I found out I was pregnant with him, and now, here he is, on the cusp of being a Kindergartener!

Here's a picture of my baby the day he was born:


And here he is now, such a big boy!


To celebrate his birthday, we had a race-car themed party. He had some friends from the nieghbourhood over, as well as family friends and cousins. Not to mention parents! This all made for a very busy and wonderful party! There was a pit stop for food and 'fuel' (aka juice), a pin-the-number-on-the-race-car game (like pin the tail on the donkey), racing games, and a pinata. We had a beautiful day for it, albeit a bit hot, but our backyard was the perfect setting for it.

For Calder's actual birthday, we went out to 'The Tomato Restaurant' (aka East Side Mario's) where we enjoyed some yummy pasta. For dessert, Gary and I shared a piece of chocolate cheesecake and Calder had a trio of mini ice cream cones. We arranged for the servers to come over and sing Calder Happy Birthday and he was all shy. At home, Easton gave Calder a present - a Lego Camper (Mom and Dad already gave him a Big Flyer bike).
