Graham's 4th birthday


Graham is now 4 years old!

One of his absolute favorite things to do is draw.  He could probably sit and draw all day long.  This is a picture he drew of Avery (notice the curly hair).  He also has a talent for writing his name backward.

We opened gifts first thing in the morning.

One of his favorite gifts was a cape from his cousin Spencer.

It entertained him (and us) most of the morning.


He also really enjoyed a set of Trio blocks from Grammie and Grandpa (Drake did too).

Graham requested a vanilla-flavored pumpkin-shaped cake.

So there you have it.

This was his first birthday with a friend party and he was very excited.  He wanted it to be a costume party.  Here he is out on the front lawn watching one of his friends get out of their car.  I think he was really excited.

This was the birthday party gang.

We played a Pumpkin Walk game.

Drake (a.k.a. Woody) was more than happy to draw out the numbers.

The kids went bowling with a pumpkin.

It wasn't a very round pumpkin, but oh well.

They played Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin (you'd think I might have branched out from pumpkins....)

And then he opened presents.

When it was time for cake, Graham acted embarrassed when everyone sang to him.

But he enjoyed blowing out the candles.



After cake, we had the kids wrap Graham up like a mummy using crepe paper.


He had to free himself at the end.

I think they all had a fun time (I hope so anyway).

Graham is a wonderful kid and it's hard to believe that he's only four.  It seems like we've been blessed with him for much longer.  I look forward to many more days with this boy.  We love you Graham!
