FOUR!

I cannot even begin to tell you how weird it is for me to have a 4 year old. I still feel like college was last year!  William was very excited about turning 4. First, he was glad to finally be 4 like Keira. Second, he was now allowed to start chewing gum. He's been looking forward to this for MONTHS. We tried gum about 6 months ago, but that didn't go so well, so I told him that he had to be 4.  Dave's mom got him a mini-bubblegum machine for Christmas, so he's been eye balling it in the pantry ever since.

He blew out all 4 candles in 1 breath!

He wanted a horse cake, so his wish was my command!

a new scooter from Grandma Dennison. He was actually pretty good on it too. Now we just need the weather to warm up so that he can ride it to the park!

New York City in a bag-- from Uncle Trent and Aunt Paige. It's a bunch of wooden blocks in the shape of NYC buildings, and you can line them up to look like the NYC skyline. Very cool. Very unique.

an ant farm from Uncle Christian and Aunt Tasha! It's a space age ant farm-- so instead of sand, they tunnel through this really cool blue gel stuff. Apparently, it's filled with minerals, etc for the ants. The ants arrived in the mail today, and they should start tunneling in 24-48 hours. That will be for a post on it's own!

SuperStructs! William discovered these from his friend Dalton. They are sort of like Tinker Toys, and they're super cool. They were the hit of the evening. 

Even my cousin Garrett was getting in on the action!

Daddy and William building a merry-go-round.

We also got William a totally awesome toolbench, but I've yet to take a picture of it. And Mimi and Papa's gift hasn't arrived in the mail yet (I'm probably most excited about this one!). I guess this is just the birthday that keeps on giving.
