Somebody is Four!!

We had a little family party the day before Nolan's actual birthday for the newest member of the "four-year-old" club...

He loved opening up all of his cards and presents...




Abby even put together a fun "Superhero" themed party for him. Here we are playing "Pin the cape on the Superhero"...

Bean bag toss...

Musical candy walk to the theme music from "Batman"...

A few homemade decorations were found all around the house...

We even made a craft at the party, some capes that we decorated out of paper!!

Then it was time to show off our superhuman strength by opening up these wrapped boxes with our fists...


Nolan loved his little party and Abby was so sweet to put it all together for him. We spent the rest of the day running errands to get ready for our beach trip the next day. While running errands, Nolan also got to pick out a brand new bike with training wheels for his big birthday gift since he was definitely getting too big for his little tricycle. We ate dinner at Red Robin that evening where they sang a hearty rendition of "Happy Birthday" to our little man and gave all the kids some free ice cream sundaes. 

I cannot believe Nolan is four years old now! He is a pretty little guy both in height and weight but makes up for it with his fun personality. His speech is still kind of jumbled a bit but he talks all the time now and I can understand just about everything he says. He loves playing pirates, bad guys, dinosaurs, and Legos and will sit and read books with me for hours. He loves having his siblings home from school this summer and is quite the little fish in the swimming pool. He is a great big brother to his little sister and overall just a delight to be around. He is super excited about starting preschool in the Fall as well as playing his first organized sport...SOCCER!! He is growing up way too fast for my liking and I am in complete denial that he will be starting kindergarten in just over a year. How did my little baby boy get so grown up?!?!

Happy Birthday Nolan Man!!
