Birthday Boy

Well it is official we are now the parents of a 4 year old, hard to believe that is true.  As always birthday week at our house tends to be pretty busy but so much fun.  We started out on Friday by Greg and I taking the day off work to spend a parents day out to celebrate our own birthdays.  We had a great day visiting, shopping, and being able to have a complete conversation.  Briggs also got to celebrate his school birthday Friday with cupcakes, juice, and his chance to be king of the day.  

Papa and Doe Doe came to town to help us celebrate Briggs birthday and it is always a big deal when Papa and Doe Doe get to slumber party at our house.  The kids loved having them around and in true Doe Doe fashion she had Briggs opening up all his presents within the first few hours of them arriving.  Not sure who was more excited Briggs or Doe Doe. 

Sunday we had the whole family over for a birthday breakfast (morning are always better at our house).  Briggs truly understood his birthday this year and totally knew he was the center of attention.  He loved having all his cousins with him to celebrate his day.  Even though we served breakfast we could not go without having a train cake.  I think only the kids indulged in the cake but Briggs was thrilled to have leftovers.  Briggs was spoiled rotten with all the gifts that he received.  Everyone knows him so well and he received all of the things he loves the most.  We will not have a shortage of things to do at our house for awhile.  Thank you everyone that came and helped to make Briggs day so special, he is so loved and we know that you all mean the world to him.

Greg and I often sit back and think about how lucky we are to have such an amazing little man in our lives.  I count my blessing everyday that I am able to be the mommy of such an incredible person.  You were the best birthday present for me 4 years ago when you were born and you continue to be the best present year after year.  Happy Birthday Briggs Patrick!
