WALKER TURNS 4!

I seriously cannot believe my baby is four. How did the time fly by so fast. He is just our entire world along with Elle and makes us laugh so much. He wasn't the easiest 3 year old but every day that he got closer to 4 we started to get a more reasonable and fun little boy! At least we knew 3 would be hard because of Elle. This was the first year that he fully understood his birthday and what a big deal it was. So we made sure to do it big for him. He counted down the days and was super excited when Kenny's birthday was over with because then he knew his was next!

The morning of his birthday I got up and went to the gym and then went to Shipley's to get donuts for everyone to have for breakfast and then for Walker to take to his class for his birthday treat at school. He was excited to blow out his candle for the first time that day and then couldn't wait to go to school to see his friends.

He had a great day at school and that afternoon we waited for Gramma and CeCe to get into town so we could celebrate as a family. We ordered pizza and Kenny had picked up a cake in Jackson. We layed out all his presents from all of us and we had a big time opening so many fun things he was excited about. One of the presents he was most excited about was actually a last minute Amazon order. He recently started loving this show on Netflix called Super Monsters and I got him a set of those and their school bus. Elle was just as excited as he was and they have been playing with the set non stop. He also loved the dinosaurs he got from CeCe and this sweet bedtime Marshall he got from Gramma that sings a little lullaby.  After presents we blew out candles for the second time that day and tucked our birthday boy into bed. He was excited for his party the next day!

Ready to open his presents!

All looking a little tired because it was the end of the week but family picture on our boy's big day!

Walker was also super excited for his new power ranger outfit. He had been wanting one really bad! He especially loves the mask.

On Saturday we made a big breakfast and got ready and got to the Country Club about an hour and a half before Walker's party started. After a very very rainy week we lucked out and the sun came out on Saturday but the temperature also dropped and it was really cold but the party was mid day and only an hour and a half so I wasn't too worried. Walker and I arrived on dinosaurs for the theme of his party a couple of months ago and despite trying to change the theme a couple times I think he was really happy with it and I was too! He thought his cake was really awesome and we  had a dinosaur jumpy for the kids to jump on and a dinosaur piñata for them to bust open that I had filled to the brim with candy and it was a very simple party. But all of his besties were there and his family and it was a great day celebrating him.

His amazing cake! The lady I found through a friend really knocked it out of the park!

My sweet four year old boy!

Dinosaur cookies were party of the guest favors.

Watching me try and cut the cake. I loathe cutting a cake. It makes me nervous.

Elle had friends there too and they had lots of fun!

Party favors!

Happy to hand out his favors to all his friends.

Once we got home we opened presents and watched Mississippi State play Alabama. As expected it wasn't a great game for us and we lost but it didn't dampen our spirits. We ordered wings from Dave's and just hung out and relaxed and let the kids play with all of Walker's new birthday presents. 

Walker and Elle were so sweet to each other and they opened most of the presents together.
