Zander is 4 years old






I can't believe it? Where did the time go? We had a big weekend. On Saturday, we went to breakfast and then to Zander's soccer game. He did kick the ball 1 time when he was playing goalie. Then we picked up the cake and went home to take a quick nap. Next we went to the local gymnastics place for his party. It was so much fun. I was a little disappointed that no one from his school showed up. Including Zander there were only 5 kids. It turned out to be the perfect size group. They had so much fun and got some exercise at the same time. After the party we went to Zander's favorite Japanese restaurant. The Brady bunch and Zachary joined us. It was really good and Zander ate like he had a tape worm. It is worth the money to see him eat a good meal. We all went home and crashed.
Sunday was Zander's actual birthday. He chose cherry turnovers for breakfast. Then we gave him his other present. We had already given him a new fireman hat, coat and airtank complete with a firehose that sprays water. Today he received a firehouse and all of the furniture and little firepeople that go with it. He really enjoyed playing with it. Then it was time to go to the local firestation. I wasn't really sure if the firemen would like us just showing up, but they were all very nice. They treated Zander like a celebrity. He got to sit in the firetrucks, turn on the lights and wear the fire chief's hat. Of course when it was time to go he was very upset. Then it was time to meet CiCi and PaPa for lunch at the mexican restaurant. He ate all of his shrimp and then CiCi pulled out a bag of strawberries. He ate everyone of them and then they sang to him and brought him a mexican dessert. He ate every bit of it as well.
Next we went to Granny's and CiCi and PaPa brought his present. It was just what he wanted, Fire House Dog DVD. Of course as soon as we got home, he had to watch it. It will not be the last time. All in all, it was a great birthday. Happy birthday Zander B. Momma loves you.
