Bradford's 4th birthday celebrations!

Little B planned his entire 4th birthday party- of course with a little help from mom and dad.  He originally wanted to have his birthday party at the zoo but it was way over budget for a birthday party so I mentioned it would be cool to have a movie party.  The dangled bait worked and he was all about having his friends over in their PJs to watch a movie and eat popcorn.  The big difference this year was we had the parents drop off their 4 year olds.  There were a few moments where I thought we were crazy to do that but overall it was a blast.  I had a few moms stay to help and Lady and Diamond were huge helps too with the kids.  


 Everyone brought their sleeping bag
 We watched the Movie Planes so Dusty pinata was a hit

We projected it on the house which was awesome once the sun went down...no comment on the first 30 minutes when we couldn't really see the movie because the sun was still up
 

These two below have our heart.  Lady is 16 and our mentee  through Urban Young Life.  Jesse is one of her brothers.  He is six and he had a blast. 

Of course MK had on her cupcake PJs.  I also won't talk about me having to nurse her in the middle of the pinata time.  Survival.  Glad there weren't parents here so I could do it  while the kids were occupied outside.

We had his birthday celebration a week before his actual birthday because on his birthday we went to Disney with the Farrells.  They came and visited us for a long weekend and it was so much fun!  4 is such a fun age- you can do so much with them! 
 




To my oldest, you light up our lives. Your kind heart toward your two younger siblings is a gift and they look up to you so much already. I'm so glad we get to do life with you. May you always know you are loved and cherished and chosen.
