Guess who had a birthday!

This guy!

Unfortunately his birthday was yesterday, a work/school day,  so we didn't get to spend the whole day spoiling him. He did get to open on present before school and then pick out what he wanted for dinner (McDonalds... fancy!) then open more presents after dinner.  And we brought cookies for his class and he said that his class sang happy birthday twice since they got to have a cookie for lunch and snack.

He woke up extra early on his birthday as he was so excited. He told Tom and I different things that he could do now that he is 4. He told Tom that now he can hold Reese "a little higher" and he told me that a) he was taller/ he had grown and b) that he was going to do all the dishes for me now. BONUS! He should turn 4 more often! Well here we are on his second day of being 4 and what do you know, no dishes washed yet. Maybe he is building up to that.

This is the only "smile" he would give me the morning of his birthday with his yet to be opened present. (So sue us, we ran out of birthday wrapping).

MONSTER JAM! It has been a very monster jam birthday so far. He has gotten 4 new monster trucks and he has big plans for more. He got a 20$ bill in the mail today and he told me he was going to buy more monster trucks with it.

If you have a close eye you will notice that there are more than 4 candles on the cake. There are 9 to be exact. Donovan requested 9 specifically. He wanted to see if he had enough breath to blow them all out. For the record, he did, but it took a couple tries. It didn't help that he placed the candles himself (except for one Reese did) and he spread half of them out and 4 of them he put touching as if to make one huge torch.

I will write an "all about Donovan at 4" post soon but tonight I am going to try to get to bed at a reasonable time. We will have some party pictures in the next month as well so stay tuned!
