Birthday Boys with Dreams & Wishes

The party started early with shopping for gifts from parents & bros with b-day boy in tow-Next we celebrated early @ Grandpa Gar/Grandma Neecy's on Sun. They were very generous with check toward preschool (more of a gift to mom & dad:)) & another set of some favorite perler beads... You can see one of his wishes came true with Grandpa Gar in the background having just returned from the hospital & recovering from knee replacement.
Aunt Britt made that awesome cake in shape of football with ice cream in between layers.
Then Dane had special privilege of sharing his actual birthday with MLKJr. He was kind enough to spend the am @ his cousin Lindsey's bball traditional game up @ HecEd Pavilion (UW). Then we went home & he got to assemble his cool Bionicles
Meanwhile poor dad had to work until our fun dinner @ The Rock pizza-The main reason b-day boy chose that restaurant is 'cuz they get to play with pizza dough while our actual order is in the works.


















Of course the free suckers and ice cream sundae are bonuses too:) Overall pretty fun to be a 4 y.o.!! He also got to bring cookies to preschool after the holiday:) Notice they're frosted in his fav colors completely above the influence of his die-hard father-He gave the heart to his teacher:) For the record, it's backwards day too:)
