Patrick is 4!

Yesterday we ended 2009 by celebrating Patrick's 4th birthday. He awoke to find a new Bob (the third in a line of overly loved stuffed giraffes) who had "magically" come to him in the night.

Mike first made a stadium shaped cake but it got stuck in the pan. So Pat settled for a ND cake.


With only 5 kids, we invited his whole pre-school class to the party but only two were able to come. Here is Sydnee enjoying some popcorn.

This is the infamous Benjamin K and his mother. If you haven't heard about Benjamin, just ask Pat about his best friend from school.

Not to be left out, Becca helped Pat blow out his candles.

Here are the crazy pre-schools on the couch.

For some reason, Patrick decided to put out all of his toys right before the party ended. Don't worry, his mother made him help clean them up.

Today has been much more restful. Patrick has kept himself busy with new toys.

And wasn't too happy I asked him to look up for this shot.

Becca has also enjoyed the new toys...

and loving Dad.

Happy 2010 to you all and we hope this year brings you good health and happiness!
