Drewby Doobie Doo


My Drew unofficially turned four today.  Today isn't his real birthday, but it was close enough and a convenient day to invite a few of his same-age cousins over.  If we had a bigger living room we could have invited them all - alas, we do not.
When he woke up, he was crowned King For A Day, and was presented with handmade cards from his older brothers.  Both contained a dollar and one also had a Pokemon card inside.  (Generous brothers.)  He felt pretty special, as you can see.

Later on he got a bike from Nana and Papa and Mom and Dad.  He seemed to think it was an ok day so far.

And because Trent is so close in age to Drew and just as big, we thought he needed a bike to ride, too.  Otherwise, he'd just knock Drew down and steal his.  So he covered his eyes while we brought his trike in from the garage.  What a ham.

I love this kid!

Both boys were excited and eventually did ride the bikes outdoors.  With a lot more success, I might add.

Later on there were even more presents - like this box of Legos from Grandma.  Big hit.

Iron Thor.  He's the supreme super hero, in case you didn't know.

And finally, it was time for cake.  Except my kids don't eat cake, so I thought it was a waste to make one.  I asked Drew what he wanted instead, and he asked for Sticky Popcorn, (carmel corn), and ice cream sandwiches.  I got ticked at the price of ice cream sandwiches in the store and made them myself.  Looking back, the store price would have been worth it.  But Drew was happy, and that's all that counts today.

  1. Soooo cute!!! Don't you just love how excited little kids get over their birthday. I love the the simplest of things are just AMAZING in their eyes. Drew probably won't remember the gifts but he will remember the crown, and the ice cream sandwiches, and singing around of Happy Birthday. You are such a good mom.

    I'd rather have a homemade ice cream sandwich than cake any day. I'm not a big cake eater either -- but I love cupcakes. Go figure. :)

  2. He looks just like you. Sometimes it easier just to buy them, but I'm sure yours were better and definitely bigger!

  5. Um, I need to see pics of these homemade icecream sandwiches you speak of. By the look on your son's face, I'd say homemade beats store bought every time.

    Adorable pictures as always. :)
