4 Years Old

I love this little guy and back in July he turned 4!
Since his birthday is in the summer, many of our Iowa friends had either already moved away or were visiting family. The first 3 or 4 friends he said he wanted to invite to his party were already gone. Luckily, he had a long list of friends to invite so we had plenty of kids at the party.

We had the party at City Park. If you are in Iowa City, this is the best way to throw a birthday party EVER! Buy three punch passes for $18 and you've got 30 rides to share among the kiddos.

Of course, every party needs a pinata.
Wyatt told me he wanted a Pickles cake--Pickles the Fire Cat that is. I figured most little kids wouldn't have read this book because it isn't an extremely popular book (it was a classic at my house growing up) so part of the party was reading about Pickles the Fire Cat.

Funny side note--just recently Max introduced the boys to Star Wars. One morning Wyatt came into our bedroom, pretending to be a cat. He said, "I'm Darth Vader's cat. Meow!!" Max asked, "Are you Darth Pickles?" and now Darth Pickles is a regular at our house.

One of Wyatt's best presents was waiting at home after the party--thanks Grandparents!

Thanks Pam. I often feel I don't do enough (like I think a lot of moms do) or that am too consumed by running my little business that they aren't getting what they deserve. So thank you for saying this.
