Happy Birthday to my big boy!

The morning of Walter's birthday we baked sugar cookies. As you can see we started out a little heavy on the flower (he liked it it reminded him of snow). He picked out train, snowmen and a tree cookie cutter.
The best part of all was tasting them when they where finished!

Here is his official four year old photo.


Here we are at his party. He was so excited for his party this year, floating on cloud nine all day. He got lots of nice gifts- Thomas the train things, art things, a John Deere bank, and clothes.
Here we are with the cake. He spotted this cake at a grocery store and just had to have it because it reminded him of the ranger this summer and riding on the trails.


This picture is out of order but here he is enjoying some of his new toys. We definately aren't lacking in the train department in this household! He added the "Thomas book for some color (it is on the tracks next to the dog). "

And speaking of trains, before the party Jeff and Walter set-up his Geo trax train set in his bedroom, the kids had a blast playing with it. His cousins Kirsten and Cale are in the picture with him.

Some girl time here. I didn't take a picture of it but I made a book that the kids will add to every year at his party about each kid. They drew pictures of themselves, their names, and wrote down their favorite things to do and favorite food, what they want to be when the grow-up and what they got for Christmas this year. They turned out cute, it will be neat to look back at them each year too.

A picture of their cousin Brady loving those cars and trucks.


Last but not least, these weren't taken on Walter's Birthday but I couldn't resist these pictures of little miss fashion queen herself.
Yesterday she was next to me when I took Walter's clothes out of his drawer and spotted these swimming shorts. Anyway, they haven't left her side for two days now. Don't you just love the look and the sandals too of course had to be added to the ensemble. We just never know what her next obsession will be!
