Jim is FOUR!!!!!

Hard to believe that Jim is 4!!!!  I love that he's always saying, "now that I'm 4, I will do this..." or "these are 4 year old shoes..."  Here's a quick recap of his actual BirthDAY!  Which actually kicked off on Thursday.  Grandma & Papa left his gifts here when they were down in March, so we Skyped with them on Thursday so they could watch him open his gifts.  Here's a picture of Jim & Ben waiting patiently to start opening!

Playing with his new crane!

I was busy on Thursday making cake pops for his big day!!

The morning was spent at the park with friends at an Easter Egg hunt!!!

Here's my 4-year old checking out what's in his eggs!

Trying to figure out why the candles wouldn't light.

He was pretty excited to have all his friends sing to him!!!

Enjoying a birthday cupcake!!

On our way home from our Easter Egg hunt, Jim made it very clear that "This was the best birthday ever!!!"  I asked him what he wanted for lunch, since it's his best birthday ever - and he told me "Salad - just the green stuff, nothing else.  I've never had salad before!!" 

 

I made him a salad, and a PB&J, and he gobbled up the salad, and asked for a 2nd helping of it!!!  He loved it!!!

We got to Facetime with a lot of people - Jim was very happy to hear all the Happy Birthday messages!!!!

That evening, we were busy loading up the truck for our trip to Charleston - enjoyed some pizza for dinner, and we sang Happy Birthday to him!!!!  He's one Happy Birthday boy!!!!

Make a wish!!!

 

Here's a cute Jim-ism - as I was buckling him in his car seat:

J - "Mommy what number are you?  (that's his way of asking how old someone is.)

M - 33

J - When I'm 33 I'm going to buckle my seat belt all by myself!

M - When you're 33, hopefully you'll be driving.

J - And you'll be the passenger!  (And Ben will still be riding in the back!)

Many faces of Jimma!

Just some of the many faces of an-almost-four-year old!!!!!  (I need to remember next time I capture some of his silly faces to make sure he doesn't still have dinner on his face!!!)

This was his angry face.

And his surprised face.

I forget what I told him in this one - funny face?!

A happy face!

A 'disgusting' face.

A cheese face.

Just a Jim being Jim face!

I love his curls!!!

And 2 more silly faces :)
