This little boy had a party last weekend to celebrate turning 4.

And of course his sister was there to help him celebrate. Party planning is a specialty of hers. :)

Just a tad excited! (And yes, she picks our her own clothes in case you were wondering.)

See these two can be sweet to one another. They just love each other too much sometimes. ;)

But back to the party. It was out a bounce place and there were lots of kids between the ages of 3 and 6 there. And one almost one year old. And adults. Yes, lot of adults too. :)

All the kids bounced and slid to their hearts content.


Mix in a little running from one bounce thing to another



and some air hockey and you have a bunch of happy (and sweaty) kids.


They even played a little basketball.

And just to prove it wasn't just the birthday boy having all the fun.

And after all the fun, the kids got to have a snack and cake.

I was so proud of this birthday boy. He's been so shy over the years, that he has cried when everyone sings Happy Birthday because everyone is looking at him. And so I figured this year would be bad since in the past it was just immediate family and grandparents and he couldn't take it and this year it was a whole group of friends and parents. But he did very well! Of course, to help we had his sister sit by his side (and she was very excited at the honor).

In fact, she took her role very seriousy and made sure he kept his crown on.

Though he really didn't want to and eventually convinced her it wasn't necessary.

She even helped blow out the candles. :) Shortly there after (about the time that half the cake had been cut) I realized that I never got a finished picture of the cake. Oops!! I was waiting until I got the cars on the cake, but when the time came I completely forgot. Go figure - I spend all the time making the cake, but can't remember to take a picture of my work. But you can kind of see it here. It was a race track with grass around it. Mater (driving backwards) and McQueen are on the track with Happy Birthday Justice written in red in between them. And Fillmore, Luigi, Guido, and Sarge in the center as the pit crew. The cake inside was strawberry per the birthday boy's request.

And they even had McQueen juice boxes. :)

Happy 4th Birthday little man!
