Bear’s 4th Birthday Celebration with Family

Since Bear was at the Osby’s for his birthday (although they were awesome and didn’t mention it) we told him that it was the first Saturday that he was back home.  So, we made a huge deal and had an entire day of family fun to celebrate our precious tiny Bear.

For our first stop, Bear wanted to go bowling!  It was so much fun and the bigger boys really loved it.  They did bumper bowling, Jay and I didn’t use the bumpers.

I love this little smile, seeing him enjoy his birthday so much after having missed him so very much was just so wonderful.

Jackson loves all sports and bowling was no exception.  Of course, I don’t really know if bowling counts as a sport?!?

Lincoln wasn’t having a happy day, but he hung in there anyway.  I love that sweet teeny man.

3 of my 4 loves.

Bear finally mastered the roll. . .

And he was thrilled with the results.

Lincoln cheered up a bit when I got him some special snacks from Trader Joe’s.

No matter what Bear scored he celebrated like crazy after every turn.  I just can’t get enough of his zeal and enthusiasm for life!

Our final scores. . .

After bowling, Baron wanted chicken strips from Cheddar’s.  We had an awesome lunch and he fully enjoyed himself.  At the end (despite knowing that we would be having cake later in the day) we let him have a little shot glass chocolate dessert.  He said his day just kept getting better and better!

After lunch we went home and took naps and then had a healthy dinner of chicken and vegetables.  After that we went to Nothing Bundt Cakes to get Bear his very favorite cake. 

Passing out the beloved cakes. . .

These little faces just melt me.  I love these guys so much and just looking at their sweet smiles leaves me in awe.  They did their best on the cakes but thankfully we all took at least half of our cake home.  We like to stretch out the sweets!

Lincoln was very happy to join in on the celebration by having some pirate booty!

Love these sweet guys so very much and had such an amazing day being together and celebrating Bear’s 4th birthday.  We adore you Baron and can’t wait to see what God will do through you!
