HAPPY #4!!

Grayer's 4th Birthday was the day before we flew back home to NY. Andy's Mom and Dad were so nice and drove down to celebrate with us!

We went to the Children's Discovery Museum then went out for lunch at Texas Rhode House. 

Grayer was a bit grumpy that day, we think mostly due to the fact that he was ready to get home to his own house and own bed. He kept asking to go the airport...

But we still managed to have a great day being with family and celebrating with our little guy!!

We love water tables

 We had to take a quick trip out to my sister's house to return a few things we had borrowed and while we were there she gave us some cupcakes and a candle to take back to the hotel so Grayer would have a candle to blow out on his Birthday! He loved it and requested us sing to him at least 3 times more so he could blow out the candle again and again!!!

Once we got back home to NY we had a little Birthday celebration of our own! We wanted to get in our usual Birthday traditions that we weren't able to do out west, plus we still had presents for Grayer to open! So Grayer's Birthday was extended for a few more days -- which of course he didn't mind one bit:)!!!

 At preschool, Grayer got the special Birthday treatment... He got to be first in all the lines and activities they did that day AND he got to have his Mommy come in to read a story to his class and also bring a birthday treat to share (he requested kit-kats for his treat to share:)).

Grayer's teacher Mrs Poulsen made him this awesome Birthday crown!  He felt so special at school. 

After school we went and saw "Rise of the Guardians" at the movie theater. It was great, we had the theater to ourselves plus it was a really cute show. Grayer is now fascinated with Jack Frost and the Tooth Fairy. He likes to pretend he is Jack Frost and the other night he left a note for the Tooth Fairy under his pillow!!

After the movie we headed home for presents and ice cream cake! 

Awesome play-dough set 

He got the games"Chutes and Ladders" and "Candy Land"

CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS 4!!!!! 

We love him to death and love all that he is learning as he gets older. He is a joy and absolutely, hands down, the best 4 year old in the world!!!
