Tavin Turned The Big Four!

Guess who is four! Yes our little boy is growing up-our love for him grows along with him. His personality almost seems to burst out of his tiny body and it affects everyone that he meets-for the better. Just his smile brightens my worst days. He is such a loving and feeling little boy and he knows when a hug is needed. He is sooooo social and loves to make friends anywhere.

He is the type of kid that wins dance party at a community library family night against kids older than him, the type who memorized his 5 lines for the primary presentation and totally rocked it when it is his turn at the mic., the type that is going to sing a solo to Rudolph The Red Nose Raindeer at the Relief Society Christmas party this coming thursday, the type that loves getting his hair cut, the type that points me out to the girl who is cutting his hair and tells her: "that's my mom, isn't she so beautiful", the type that comes to the basketball games my young women are in and cheers his little guts out for them-repeating everything I say-just louder, and the type that made friends with the window cleaners today while I was in a boutique returning a shirt:)

Tavin started off his day by taking popcorn to share with his classmates at preschool. Then we went out for pizza and played at play place before heading home. We wrapped his presents and hid them for him to find.

Then it was time for cake. I have started a tradition where I make their birthday cakes-I made him a Buzz light year spaceship cake, then Katie a barbie princess cake, and as you can see from the above pictures-this year tavin asked for a lightening Mcqueen cake. He enjoyed every part of the celebration and loved each present-saying he always wanted it. He got a Lightening Mcqueen movie play, Cars 2 DVD, Rio DVD, and a Leap Frog Reader with books, Grandma Fluffy Hairs and Grandpa came to join in the celebration as well.

To help Katie feel included, I got her a snow white dress up gown-which she wouldn't take off for the rest of the weekend! She is truly a princess:) She has started to speak in small sentences and has developed quite the attitude. She calls my dad "boppa" and is taking after her brother in being extremely social. When we are out, she says hi to everyone she passes.
