This Boy is almost 4!

Another year has passed which means Aidan is another year older. He will be 4 y/o come December 15th. I know I say this all the time but time really flies!

We had his birthday party on December 4th. A little early but this time of year is always busy with holiday events and planning. Thought it best to celebrate a little earlier was safe. We rented a play gym area with bouncy castle, bikes, crafts and face painting. We rented the same place last year too. We had about 15 kids coming the gym was perfect!

Aidan picked the "happy faces" theme this year so I ran with the idea.

Happy face Cupcakes







Goodie bags! Inside: happy face ballon, lollipop, helicopter toy, happy stickers and play dough.




Having fun!







It was a good day. All the kids had a blast. Most importantly Aidan told me he had "sooooo much fun".

This face painting pic wasn't taken at his birthday party but taken the week before at a different party and i had to share. Apparently he's a spider. I thought he was a hairy vampire. Haa haaa!

I'm Dreaming of a White Birthday

... not really but that's what happened. Woke up the morning of my birthday and found this




Snow doesn't usually appear in March but sure. Why not. Crazier things have happened.

My birthday has come and gone and it was a good day. I was showered with wonderful birthday wishes. I'm so lucky to have such amazing and loving people in my life.

No huge birthday plans on my birthDAY. Worked, taken out for dinner and vegged-out on the couch and refused to do any house work

I was spoiled this year. Nathan asked Aidan suggestions for a birthday gift for mommy. Apparently the conversation went something like this:
Aidan: Get mommy a Kindle. (I guess Aidan had saw me Ooh and aww over the Kindle commercials in the past).

Nathan: no, Kindle is too expensive.

Aidan: Oh. Ok. How 'bout candle?

...and hence the photo below. A Kindle and a candle. Haa haa!




I haven't had much time to really absorb the Kindle capabilities but from what I can tell, it's awesome. I find it faster than the kobo with page turning and easier to navigate around because there are more buttons. Also, the screen is noticeably clearer. In addition, there's note taking and clipping capabilities. I love me notes ;o)

The rest of my birthday week was fine. Worked and attended more birthday dinners. Excited about Saturday night. Going out for sushi with my best buds drinks and rockband later?!? Love rockband
