4 1/2 years old!

Birthdays are so magical to children. That one day out of the year when the attention is totally focused on them. Everyone brings them gifts, showers them with attention and you get to eat a cake that was specifically made just for them! How fabulous! So, with that in mind, we decided to enjoy this wonderous time twice a year by celebrating Payton's half birthday.

He was so excited when we told him that we were going to celebrate him turning four and a half. When he went to bed the night before, we decorated his door with streamers, I baked and decorated half of a cake (monster truck themed, since that's the obsession of the week), and we took him to Busch Gardens at night (which he's never done).

Basically, just spent the day celebrating what an awesome kid he is! It was such a fun day, I wish I had thought of this idea when I was a kid!
