Owen's Birthday Celebration

Owen had such a great birthday this year!! We didn't plan a big party because we wanted to stay healthy for his big trip to Stanford next week. Then we all went and got sick and had to postpone his trip anyway.   His cath is scheduled for mid March at Stanford and it worked out perfectly during Spring Break.

Owen woke up on his birthday and said "ok.. I'm four.. can I open my presents?"  So downstairs we came to open his gifts.

Owen really wanted this "joker puncher" car and asked for it weeks prior to his birthday.  He was so excited to play with it!! 

Owen also asked for Donuts for breakfast and we haven't had them in forever!  Daddy got up early and went to pick up his favorite Albertson's donuts with sprinkles.  We sang Happy Birthday and as we ate way too much sugar, Owen ate only the sprinkles dipped in milk.

I signed up through Icing Smiles for a special birthday cake!  They contacted a local baker, Carmen, who made Owen the most amazing cake!  I told her he likes chocolate and superheros.  I could have never imagined the cake she thought up.  Owen was in awe and loved it so much!!!

I took some pictures of the detail she put into the cake so I could submit it to Icing Smiles for their website.  There was so much detail in each character. 

After playing with all of Owen's new birthday gifts, we decided to head outside!   The park was beautiful and the ducks were as friendly as ever.

Owen decided he wanted to have a mini birthday party that evening, so we called up my family and invited them all over for Chicken Noodle soup and salad, per Owen's request.  We all sang Happy Birthday and he blew out all FOUR candles!  We had cake and ice cream before opening presents.  Owen was so thrilled with each gift. 

We still can't believe our boy is four.  Each birthday is such a blessing!!!
