Sprinkling the cupcakes the night before.
Receiving the Birthday Crown.
Happy birthday to me!
Picking out "Four" toys.
Michael passed out all his cupcakes first but still managed to finish his before everyone else.
Playing outside with his friends.
My Four Year Old
Opening his cards from Nana, Papa and Grandpa Forte.
You had so much fun at school today!
It may be the only year you will ever be at school for your birthday!:(
We are so sorry we couldn't do much for your birthday this year
but we are grateful everyone at school made you feel so special!
You are truly special!
I love how you always want to hug, kiss and play with your baby sister.
You talk to her when she cries and you make her laugh when you act silly.
I love how you sing her the baby song, even if the words are just, "Baby, baby, baby."
It melts my heart when you say, "You're the best."
I am reminded to set a good example when you say, "Stop biting you nails. That's digusting."
I appreciate it when you hold doors open for me.
Although you ask for food ALL day long,
I appreciate it when you put all your stuff in the sink when you are done.
My ultimate favorite moments I want to remember are our mornings.
You get up, come into the room and say, "Good morning momma."
And I say, "Good morning my sunshine (because you are)."
I ask you how you slept.
You respond and get up in my lap and we just sit and hold each other.
That is my favorite part of each and every day.
I love you!
It was quite an honor for Michael to be the ring bearer for his Uncle in his wedding. He loves his uncle so much, probably more than he knows. Michael asks to go to his house quite often and every time Michael uses his pretend phone, guess who he calls? Yup, his Uncle John. Every time he sees his uncle, he yells, "John, John" and makes a mad dash for his hugs. Maybe its because he and Candy have asked him to stay with them on a few occassions over the years, or maybe its because he has a pretty wife, or maybe its because he does his hair, or maybe its because of Sophie or maybe its just because he is so likeable. I don't know the reason but I do know he loves him a lot.

My Happy Face
My "I just wanna be loud" face.
My new talent.
Someone must be teething because she frequently has a fist or her fingers in her mouth.
