James turned...

FOUR!! He's seriously the cutest four year old James around. On his birthday I took him to a bookstore and we got to eat a cupcake for breakfast. Yeah, I know. I'm the best mom around. Then he got to pick out a book and just because he is so stinkin' cute I let him get the giraffe he couldn't put down (but he calls it a zebra and named him Monster Truck). Then we went to pick out some new shoes and he requested Skechers and picked out a "very awesome" pair.

But first the kids wanted to play with the train table. Even though we have one at home. Jacob actually didn't really care about it.

He wanted to kiss all the Olivia dolls. Don't worry, he didn't have a runny nose this day.

James being cute and having fun at the train table. He had it all to himself. He didn't have to share with any other kids whose moms leave them there for me to babysit.

Later (on Thursday, the day after his birthday) we had a delicious cake to celebrate. Target makes fabulous cakes. I don't.

I bought sparkler candles and those buggers did not want to go out.

I love this one catching James laughing at the funny candles. So cute. And that dimple!!!! It kills me every time.

Today while I was making lunch for the boys, James said, "Since I'm the birthday boy I get to eat in the family room and watch the movie. Right, Mom?" His birthday was 4 days ago, but how can I argue with that dimple?!
