Happy Birthday William!

I told William I didn't think I wanted him to turn 4. I told him I just wanted him to stay little. He just grinned at me and said, "but Mommy, God says I have to grow up and get bigger." So begrudgingly I let it happen!

My Sweet Birthday Boy!

(Don't you love the bed head-- there is nothing I can do to fix it!)

We had a great time celebrating William's 4th birthday. He shared cake with his classmates and then we headed to the park. William got a new bike so we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a ride at the park. He didn't last very long! He is still getting a hang of steering and slowing down and he had Michael push him up any incline.

William was so excited to have his Daddy & sister there with him.

He kept telling everyone, "My Daddy did this." (Over and over!)

Thank you Nana for the Birthday Pin.

It's nearly impossible to get a decent shot of the 4 of us-- this is about as close as it gets!

Ready to go on his new bike!

When we got to the park I realized that I had left my camera at home. I was so bummed, but then I realized I could use my phone. They're not the best, but pretty good for a phone.

Mae fell asleep and spent the whole time just like this-- sweet girl.

The Easter Bunny brought William a kite (from the dollar store). William was excited to bring it to the park. Once we got there he LET Michael put it together and fly it. He stood back and wanted to watch.

We finished the night with his dinner of choice, pancakes and another birthday cake with a serenade by Mom & Dad. (I know-- what a healthy day!)

A little brotherly love!

A big pirate ship!

Maren just loved getting into the paper.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!
