Birthday Fun

Yesterday our dear sweet Jack turned four years old.  Where does the time go??!!  Oma and Opa came for an absolutely yummy autumn dinner of pork roast, roast butternut squash and white sweet potatoes and dinner rolls.  Of course we had cupcakes for dessert (pumpkin with cream cheese frosting and heath bits sprinkled on top)! 

Then it was time for Jack to open his presents.  The other boys enjoyed helping too.  Jack liked his new pirate clothes.  He was super thrilled about his hiking boots; he can't wait to try them out in the mountains.  And of course the highlight of the evening was his new  bike.  We sent him into the garage with the lights out to find it....it had on his new glow in the dark bell from his aunt, uncle and cousins.  Once he spotted the bell he headed over...then he requested the lights on to inspect the bike closer.  He was so incredibly excited....so we had to go out in the RAIN and the DARK to test it out.  He didn't last too long, big surprise. 

When he woke up this morning he wanted to go ride his bike right away, but it was still dark and STILL raining.  Finally after lunch today we got to take it out for a proper test ride.  He is super fast and just loves it.  Ewan is also enjoying riding Jack's old bike, with the training wheels back on.  Jack keeps saying "thank you for my bike" all day.  I'd venture to say it is his favorite present!!  Watch out Tour de France!!!!

Opening presents!
