Happy 4th Birthday Maxwell!

Ugh!  I cannot believe he is four years old.  It is so amazing to look at Asher now and remember when Max was that small, and realize how quickly time passes, TOO QUICKLY for my taste!  We had two fun filled days of birthday shenanigans and I'm sure Max could have gone for even more.  We worked hard to make this birthday extra special since Max is feeling a little displaced these days.  Thanks to all the family and friends who were here with us to help celebrate our big dudes big day.


Brooke had an idea to let our boys decorate "gingerbread" houses, which were actually graham crackers.  They all had a really good time.  Max wouldn't wear his yellow apron so we put an old t-shirt over his clothes.  He is concentrating hard!
 Cousin Cash, along with Jason and Natalie, came down from Dallas to help us celebrate.
 The fabulous Baker boy!
 Looking delicious, and let me tell you most of the decorations ended up in the mouth.
 Carson worked hard on his house as well.
 Eli taste testing the frosting.
 Four candles for a big boy!
 Kristen and Baker brought Max a stomp rocket.  The boys went outside and played with it for a long time.  Thanks for the awesome gift!
 Getting a running start and a big jump to launch the rocket.
 Does he look like he had a good time???
 We opened family gifts after the party wrapped up.
 Oh, these two goofy boys.  
 Thanks for the tent!!!
 Max saw this keyboard/DJ set at Kohl's.  We doubled back and bought it for him later.  He opened the bad and started screaming about how it was just what he had always wanted!!!
 Celebration of life at Montessori school.  He and Ms. Marie are singing the song about the months of the year.  This took place on his actual birthday.
 Then Max put all of the months down in order.  He walked around the "calendar" four times as I showed pictures from each year and talked about all the adventures Max has had each year of his life.
Singing the "Celebration of Life" song, followed by "Happy Birthday".
We finished his birthday fun by taking him to his favorite restaurant in Waco "Feddwreckers".  He loves it for the games.
