Jack's 4th Birthday

I absolutely love and look forward to Jack's birthday each year, because he gets so excited about birthdays and birthday parties.  We were talking about him turning 4, and he was getting super excited about it.  The morning of his birthday he came downstairs and asked, "Am I 4?" in a sleepy voice.

Jack wanted a hamburger for lunch, so I got him his first fast food hamburger at Sonic.  He thought it was delicious:

Had we still lived in California we would have had a birthday party for him with his little friends, but we didn't get much of a chance for new friendships in Oklahoma before his birthday.  Instead, we had a fun family celebration with decorations and a pirate ship piñata, per Jack's special request.  During Jack's nap I got all the decorations done, and the table was set in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme that he picked out.

We had a chicken taco dinner just like last year, because that's what Jack likes.  After dinner we set up the piñata.

Jack got to open a few presents:

And Grandma and Grandpa Brink sent him $5 in his birthday card.  He was sooo excited and put it into his robot piggy bank to save it.  Any time he's gotten any type of money, he never wants to spend it…future frugal guy :).

 After presents we had cupcakes:

 Jack blew out his '4' candle:

Overall, I think he had a really great birthday!  I can't believe he's 4 already!!
