Preston's 4th Birthday

I can hardly believe that my "little" boy turned 4 last month! We had a great time celebrating. This year, Preston decided he wanted to have his birthday party in his room. So, we stayed home and invited a few of our closest friends/family over to join in on the celebrating. Luckily I was able to convice Preston to have his party downstairs in the kitchen/living area instead of his bedroom! :) Just like last year, Preston is still HOOKED on Curious George. It's his absolute favorite. So once again, we had a Curious George birthday party!

(Grrr...ignore the dates on the pictures....I need to fix my camera!)

We played "pin the butterfly on the log" (it was a Curious George version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey!) Everyone had fun, including some of the adults!
Way to be a good sport Marquel!

My big four year old stud!

Our friend Kim, from church, is a professional baker. She made Preston's cake this year! It was amazingly good! She had sculpted the Curious George on top of the cake ANd the gift box he's sitting in! Although this picture doesn't do justice, the cake was incredible and Preston was SO happy with it! He loved the Curious George!

Preston is such a great kid. We love him so much! He started talking at a very early age so he is very verbal and easy to understand. He asks some great questions (too many at times) and also has a thought or comment to share. He's a rule follower and like to make sure the other kids are in line as well (we have many talks about being bossy). He LOVES to play with other kids and is very social. He enjoys singing, and LOVES running and bouncing around the house. He likes to try new things but gets frustrated if he can't do them as well as he wants too. He enjoys being read to and is working on learning more and more letters. He loves his little sister so much and treats her great (most of the time). He is very respectful and thankful. It doesn't take much to please him or make him excited. He gets frustrated when things don't go his way (I have NO idea where he got that from!), but is easily consoled. He loves Sunday School Class and talks about God and Jesus alot. He is such a sweet snuggler and just a joy to be with (on most days)!

Preston, we are so thankful God chose us to be your mommy and daddy! We are so proud of you and love you so much!

Happy Birthday!
