Ignore that ruff lookin’ mama in the background…it’s been a rough three weeks. Rather, let’s focus on that adorable little boy who’s holding up those four fingers! Liam turned four after Christmas. It was a long time coming, too. He was deeply hurt that we were not celebrating his birthday when we celebrated Zoe’s. But, finally, his birthday rolled around! Now, we had the party on Saturday with a couple of friends…don’t worry, I’ll include those pictures soon. The original plan was to leave on his birthday and travel to visit family for Christmas celebrations and then have a party with cousins that included a “treasure hunt.” However, with all going on with the baby, we felt we needed to stick close to home just in case we needed to make a beeline for the hospital, etc. So, a simple celebration on the birthday day…and then party on Saturday.
Happy Birthday Liam!
Mark picked up an ice cream cake with the kids the night before. Don’t worry, I made a cake for Saturday…just couldn’t get off the couch on Monday night.
From Uncle B & Aunt B and cousins!
The Sunday before his birthday before celebrating Christmas with Ge and Granddaddy, Liam and Zoe opened gifts from them. That look on his face was the same look as he opened all his gifts this season. Very serious. He was a focused little boy concentrating on getting all the paper off. Once it was off, he was all smiles.
Oh yeah, mini golf clubs!
He can wear them like a backpack and proceeded to do so….and got stuck in several places. That would be Ace (or Zoe…I’m not sure) flipping off the back of the loveseat…not a dead kid…I promise. And Liam getting stuck between the piano and the temporary home of the loveseat.
