Official Birthday!

Owen's official birthday was quite a fun day. It began with lots of gifts waiting to be opened first thing in the morning.

Then we decided that it would be fun to take both Owen and Marcus to Chuck-E-Cheese to have fun and celebrate. Lucky for us, there were not many people at the place, so we had a great time running around and playing all the games. Owen hit the jackpot with one silly game and got a whole bunch of prize tickets. After cashing in all those tickets he was able to get a kind of lame Match Box car, but he was excited about it.

We finished the day with more birthday cake. Honestly, I think the thing Owen enjoyed most about his 4th birthday was all the cake he got to eat!

 

Happy 4th Birthday, Owen!

Owen had his first, real birthday party this year. All his friends from school (and Danya) came to celebrate at his Spiderman themed party. The kids played games, had lunch and had a really good time. Owen was so pleased with it all (except for maybe that moment where silly string got in his eye). But it was fun to watch my little guy have a great birthday celebration with all his friends.

A Time Old Tradition

Kitchen mixers have come a long way since I was a kid. We used to love licking the beaters, and my mother didn't seem to care if there was raw egg in the batter or not. I won't let Owen go near anything with raw eggs in it, so therefore, he rarely has the opportunity to lick the beater. Which is quite a beater with our kitchen mixer. BUT Owen sure gave it a go as I let me lick the frosting from his birthday cake. I was so amused at watching him try to get as much off that beater as he could!
