In the Jones household, you can't just celebrate a birthday for one day, so this last week was the culmination of Ryan's 4th birthday celebration. It all started on Saturday night (8/29) with a trip to the local grocery store in search of the perfect birthday cake. Ryan decided on a cupcake with a large yellow happy face on it which was fine by us. Sunday morning began with a rendition of Happy Birthday to the newly woken birthday boy and soon became smiles and request of "Cupcake, Mommy!"So after a breakfast of cupcake (you knew we would give in didn't you?), it was onto the opening of gifts. Amidst the "Little Einsteins" and other education toys and books, came his favorite gift of the day - Megatron from the "Transformers" Movie. Thanks Aunt Kathy!
The next day, Cathy decided to surprise Ryan at school with a little party with his classmates. A cookie cake and an afternoon of frivolity was well received.
Things were pretty low key until Friday and Grandma came to visit. More presents came with his new favorites, also from "Transformers" including a bumpercar version of BumbleBee and Bulkhead (when he says this it sounds like Butthead).Saturday Morning had us all getting ready and heading to Chuck E. Cheese for the family and friends party. A good time was had by all with pizza, games and a visit from the Cheese Meister himself.
But the party didn't end there. Of course we had to have the visit to play minigolf.
So in the end, Ryan had a long and enjoyable birthday celebration. But hey, how many times do you turn 4 anyway??
