The Birthday Boy...

So Kaleb had one heck of a years end! First there was Christmas, then a week later his birthday, and then a week later his big birthday party!! And he got presents at all three events!! Lucky boy! So, as mentioned before, my little man is now 4. (slight crying!) My baby is getting sooo big too fast! gahhh!! It has been a blessing to raise this boy and watch him become such a strong, intelligent soul. He is so smart, and caring, and loving - he's perfect...can you tell i'm partial?!! I love him so much.

Anywho, on to the birthday party - 5 pepperoni pizzas, 1 half sheet of cake, 8 3-4 year old kids, parents, and games later - my little man had his first birthday party! A few weeks ago he came to me and said "mom, i want a party for my birthday. with presents, and cake, and transformers, and friends. Can we invite my friends?" and I melted! So, i took on the challenge of entertaining several 3-4 year old little boys (and one sweet little girl who also braved the party)!! It was a blast! The theme was transformers (who could've guessed that! haha), we had blue, yellow, and white streamers everywhere - including his doorway to his bedroom which we did while he was sleeping so he would wake up to it! We posted a mini photo gallery on the wall of pictures of Kaleb from when he was in my belly up to his current pictures! It was great!

The kids did transformers bowling - i took toiletpaper rolls and taped transformers figures to them, set them up like bowling pins at the end of a long work out mat and let them bowl! They had a blast and did so well, and the little siblings got to joing in too! Then they played pin the tail on the donkey - some were way too good, and others pretty dang funny! Kaleb had a blast. His eyes tripled in size when we started singing happy birthday to him!

All that were here in our little apartment were: The Applehans (Michele, Jesse, Andrew, Tanner), The Zerbe's (Grandpa Greg and Princess Sindy), The Smiths (Grandma & Grandpa Smith, Aunt Katie), The Huff's (Mercedes, Josh, Annika, Sammy), Chandler Blazzard (mom, Debbie and sister, Morgan came later), and friends Alicia, Addi, Eli Stoner and Sy Callister! Talk about a house full!! It was a blast though! I hope that everyone had as much fun as we did, and i hope you all know how much Kaleb loved that you all came to see him and how much he enjoys all the gifts. We love you all!
