Benjamin's 4th Birth Day!

My baby turned 4 years old today! What unmeasurable joy he has brought to us these past 4 years. It has been the greatest adventure to walk with him through each age and stage... I don't think I could pick a favorite. I think I would have to say that my favorite is right where we are! 

Here's my big 4 year old, sporting his awesome mowhawk from some bathtub fun the night before!

When he wakes up, on his birthday, now three years running... outside his bedroom door is a gift from Daddy and Mommy. This year it was a really cool shake and go racetrack!

The morning was all about him, of course! Playing playing and more playing... and hugging and kissing of course... with a few tickles mixed in!

Grandparents KNOW how to celebrate a birthday boy.

He's so dear... adjusting very well to having a little brother wanting to join in on all play with  his new toys. Although, I have seen some pretty creative uses of so called "obstacle courses" he assures me Liam "loves", unique rules for games that almost always end up in Liam being distracted with something else, hiding and all out barricades!

We spread out presents over the whole day, from wake up all the way through breakfast, lunch and dinner... thanks to lots of loving from our extended family.

Some of his loot :)

We had some friends over on his actual birthday for a playdate, dinner and a movie. Here are his BFFs Maeve and Declan!

In true Summers fashion, this was just the beginning of our celebration!
