Turning Four, in photos!

I have so many stories to share from the last 2 weeks, and some scrapping pages too, but for now we will start with Noah's birthday celebrations. I will share the rest over a few more days.
Daddy stayed home for the big surprise, and we waited for you to come out of your room. You had been quietly playing in your room for a bit. You came out and said it was your happy birthday and asked why Daddy was home. You headed into my room to find me, and your presents.













And you found them.













Katelin was very patient and helpful with your presents.













You looked intently at each one taking them in.



















Then we asked you to go outside, you were not sure why but went with it anyway. At this point you need some background info, Noah has been asking for a trampoline since Christmas time, even saying while jumping on his bed, I don't have a trampoline yet! In the last few weeks before his birthday Noah seemed to loose focus, shifting to robots and rockets. So he had no idea what might be outside. I love this look on his face, You can see it just starting to light up into the huge grin, as it was all being processed.



















You loved jumping on it, even in the freezing cold morning. Katelin was really good at jumping too. It is actually Katelin's present too.



















You did a little building with Daddy before he headed off for work.



















After coming in from the trampoline, you rand Nanny on the phone (at 7.30 in the morning) and told her that you got a trampoline and that she had to jump in her car and drive down here right away to see it. Mum only lives around the corner. So she came down a little later and you opened presents from her. This was one of them, some sticky footed geckos that climb down the glass. Both you and Thomas think they are great!
From here you spent the day with Nanny, as is usual on Friday's and it was what you wanted to do. You went to Poppy Heckel's and had lunch and got some money in a card.













When you came home Nanny told you about a lego garbage truck at the shops. You said you would like to go buy one, so Nanny took you. You picked it off the shelf and took it to the counter. You gave the lady the money and Nanny explained that you would no longer have the money, just the truck. You got some change and a docket and your truck. You took it home to play with, you were a little disappointed that it didn't "do anything" it wasn't battery operated, you had to make it work yourself. Sometimes those are the best toys.













Then we decorated some cupcakes for your birthday dinner.













Not sure if Katelin as decorating or eating!



















A Wall.E robot from Nanny!













Hip hip hooray!



















The next morning you got up early and wanted to build your robot, so we worked on that before getting ready for your party.



















Your party was at Avoca beach park, it was a little windy for swimming so w just played in the park. You got another robot from Aunty Trace, the look on you face as you were unwrapping it said it all!



















You got this cool ball flipper from the Evans' Simone always finds the coolest presents. You are giving it a turn.



















There was some digging to be done.



















And of course a robot cake!



















I was feeling generous when you asked for the whole head, I gave it to you and you had a great go of eating it.



















And made a mess.













For your birthday we invited friends to join us in a picnic lunch, we asked them to bring their own food in lieu of presents, stressing it was just the company we wanted to celebrate your birthday. You still got an amazing haul of presents!
I hope you enjoyed turning 4 buddy!
