Happy Birthday Asher!

We had a great day celebrating Asher's fourth birthday! I am convinced if you are going to have a birthday party, you need to have it on a different day than the actual birthday. We were just able to enjoy our day with the boys and not be rushing around, getting things ready, etc. I loved it! Blake came home at lunch and we took Asher out for lunch at his favorite restaurant, Red Robin. I think this is becoming quite the birthday tradition for him. We had someone (thanks Ashley!) come stay with Caleb and Nate, so it was just us and Asher. It was so fun just being able to concentrate on ONE!
Here is Asher enjoying his melon. He picked out his own side item, which happened to be melon. Even over french fries!
Enjoying his birthday sundae. He got the whole birthday song sung to him by the staff at Red Robin and it was funny to watch him sink lower and lower in his seat while they were singing!

(Remember the child who cried at his first birthday party while we were all singing to him!)

All decked out... where's the bike?Looking for treasure...

Aha! Found it!

After all, every good pirate needs a sword!

At last, the bike is found!

"Happy Birthday to you...."

Blowing out FOUR candles!

Make a wish... that was fun! When can we do it again?
