Happy 4th Birthday Evan!

Evan came in to our room this morning to cuddle (most days he is the first to wake up these days), and when we said "Happy Birthday" to him he got a huge grin on his face.  He stood up and said, "Do you want to see how tall I am now!"  He seems to think that on each birthday you suddenly grow and are bigger.  I didn't have the heart to tell him differently because he was so proud of how "big" he is. 

Well, our last minute panic to plan a party for Evan (due to being double booked where we had previously booked the party) turned out very well!  We had a fun bus come to our house, which was a big hit.  It had a climbing wall, trampoline, slide, etc.  The parents enjoyed it just as much.  They were able to hang on our deck and drink some beers while the kids were entertained in the bus.

Evan loved all his gifts.  He was thrilled to get the Thor hat and hammer!  The party theme was Thor, which is his current favorite super hero.  I don't think any of the other kids there had a clue who Thor was, but Evan loved it!

I had to drive up to Northern VA this morning for a baby shower for one of my cousins, Vanessa, and then drove back and arrived just in time for the party.  Dennis had all 3 boys all day and did a great job setting up for the party.  He took Colin and Evan to their last soccer games of the season and took them to a comic store for Free Comic Book Day 2011.  The boys got a ton of free comic books and of course were thrilled.

The day was busy and exhausting, but was a huge success!
