What turning 4 looks like....

On Sunday we celebrated Wyatt's birthday. He didn't really understand why we went to church on his birthday, but once we got home to have our little 'party' he was pretty much over it. And thankfully he doesn't have older siblings or friends at school to talk about a party, because we didn't have one this year. In the past we've just always had family over, but this year it was just the four of us--and it seemed enough for him. As you can see from the pics, he had a great day!

Just getting home from church and waiting to open 2 presents--we told him he could open 2 before lunch and then had to wait until after lunch for cake and the rest of the presents.

A girl after my own heart--trying to get some music going...

This wasn't a very good pic, but you can see the anticipation on Wyatt's face....And then there was Sadie....not too happy that she had to wait until everyone was done eating for some cake...

Every year I let Wyatt decide what kind of cake he wants me to make. In the past we've had a fire engine, tractor, Lightning McQueen--and now this year a guitar. He truly is a music lover!

Already had a bite in his mouth!

...notice how he ate all the icing first....actually, he only at the icing and then asked for another piece! He didn't end up eating any actual cake!

Finally time to open the presents. We started getting packages/cards about a week before his birthday, so it was great because they just sat in a pile for several days in anticipation of the big day......notice he already has on the 'hockey pants' (as he calls them) that he got from Nani, Pops, and Mary Jo

....LOVE this picture....

..still a bit of chocolate icing on the -stache!

Daddy's special gift to Wyatt--hockey gloves!

He wanted to take a picture with his new hockey sweatshirt, gloves, and of course with his skates and stick!

I included this last picture to show how serious he is about his gloves. This was later in the evening when we were watching the Super Bowl and having some more cake. He kept his gloves on all day and took them off, just like the players do to eat his cake--so serious!
