The present suspense wasn't only killing him. Brooklyn was DYING to know what was inside that wrapping paper! Like I said, we waited until after dinner to open them and boy was it a long afternoon for her!
We started our day off at the playplace. Mason and Julianne had a ball. Brooklyn was very upset that she missed out. She loves school but thinks our lives should all wait for her to get out. Mason also got a gigantic cupcake from Barnes and Noble for his birthday. I love free clubs. They're the best.
Here's Jon putting the last touches on his newest masterpiece. This one was a lot of things before it was a crane. We started out wanting a tractor, then we wanted Lego Star Wars, then Lightening, then Dinaco Lightening. In fact, I baked a flat 9 x 13 expecting Jon to just decorate with a Lightening on top and came home to this:
Mason saw it in a cake book and Jon went for it. Mason and I are looking away b/c we skyped with Grandma and Grandpa Hibshman for the cake. Too bad we couldn't send them some through the computer. Leftovers are overflowing here...
Everyone was pretty excited about the cake. Julianne kept telling Grandma good-bye because she wanted "frosting and cake" and I told her I'd get her some after we talked to Grandma.... She is Jon's kid. Frosting. The girl wanted FROSTING.
Mason was pretty stoked about his cake. All this work and he wanted a ding dong. I convinced him to have a piece of the cake instead, but still....
Yummy yummy cake!!
FINALLY we got to play with the toys. Brooklyn was concerned with opening them all...Mason was concerned with playing with the one in his hand. Whichever one that happened to be...
And, today has been blissful. He has new tractors, new cars, a new Mario shirt and a new Bob movie that we've already watched. According to him, turning 4 is great. Too bad he's not excited that he has to go see the Dr. tomorrow... I won't tell him I'm planning on hitting the photography studio next week sometime. ha!Happy Birthday, buddy!! We sure love you!!

I remember when you had your first! I can't believe how long it has been. Cute kids.
YAY! That cake is awesome! really, you should hire Jon out:) I am glad that Mason had such a good day, he looks so big and grown up! really - where did the past 4 years go???
And I know this post is all about Mason, but Julianne! She is getting so big, how do you not squeeze her all day long? She is so cute!!!
and this post answered my question in the email - we should skype sometime too!:)
ps - Gage thinks the same thing too, we should never do fun things while he is at school...like playgroup. I always have to remind him that he gets to have 2 recesses and spend all day with friends!
What a fun birthday! Glad he had fun.
Yay for birthdays! I'm so glad we got to be a part of it. Love those kids!
That looks like so much fun! Mason is so cute, I love the ketchup comment. It sounds just like him!
