We had the best time celebrating our new big boy!!
I love this – when Nathan was little, he was asking to chew gum and I just randomly threw out that he needed to be four, because four seemed like so far off. Well, Nathan latched onto that idea and then it became the house rule. Ha! So, on our birthday shopping date before Parker’s birthday, we stocked up on LOTS of gum for him. 😉
Parker had been planning his birthday for like six months. Ha! He very specifically requested a Yeti birthday party and a Star Wars themed day for his actual birthday. 😉 So, we did our best to deliver!! He was SO excited to come downstairs and see this in the morning!!
Star Wars birthday!! With chocolate-chip waffles, whipped cream and all the rest of the healthy breakfast options. 😉
Sweet boy. He was already tired of pictures by this point. Ha!
We all got dressed and he opened presents He LOVED his gum!! I love this still from the video I took. He seriously chewed like 43 pieces that day.
Next up was Chuck E Cheese! Pops, Aunt Nicole and the boys met us there. Gammy wasn’t feeling the best that day, so we made sure we stopped by so she could get a birthday hug in. 🙂
Parker was actually pretty good at a lot of the games!!
When he was first planning his birthday extravaganza, Parker said he wanted to go to Sweet Tomatoes and then have ribs for dinner. The it changed to Red Robin, but then he found out that he really meant the Cheesecake Factory. Ha! Then as we were leaving Chuck E Cheese, we passed Chick-fil-a and he decided maybe that would be more fun. So, we did CFA. They totally spoiled him – he got a balloon, a free sundae, free cookies and a free awesome nice plastic plate that says “It’s my birthday”. So fun!!
Love this. By this point, we were all exhausted. We got everyone showered so we would hopefully not contract typhoid fever from all the play places we had been at, I got Eisley down for a nap and came downstairs to find Parker like this. SO cute. He got a new bike and rode it around the rest of the afternoon.
Cheesecake Factory for dinner!! It was so funny because he was VERY excited about the people singing to him, which just made me laugh because he typically hates to be the center of attention.
He was very happy with his key lime cheesecake. Parker is an old soul, friends. We went home, did another little cake and candle and fell into bed after our long day. Parker was so sad to go to sleep because he didn’t want to wake up and it not be his birthday anymore. So sweet.
But then, two days later, it was his birthday again! Ha! We had our family party at Gammy and Pops’ house and he was SO happy with another Star Wars party. Such a fun time celebrating our big four year old!!
