Birthday Boy

Christmas is right around the corner, which means Isaac just turned FOUR.

It took a little time to convince him of that fact, but he did in fact turn FOUR.

Our church was kind enough to throw a huge birthday party for him. I mean, they called it the "Ward Christmas Breakfast", but we all know what it really was.  Whatever it was, Isaac ate a huge chocolate muffin and was a happy boy.

The event also hosted a Santa.  Which posed a little bit of a dilemma.  We killed their childhood already told the older boys about Santa, and have decided not to make a big deal about Santa with Isaac.  We talk about how Santa isn't real all of the time.  But I WANTED A PICTURE of Isaac and Santa.  No mixed signals there, right?

I got my picture.  A few, actually.  Isaac was shy, but told Santa what he wanted for Christmas: a toy helicopter (Blades from Rescue Bots).  This would come back to bite me in the butt later.

It was a busy Saturday, but at the end of the day we gathered around a plate of chocolate chip pumpkin cupcakes to sing "Happy Birthday".

After the sugar, Isaac got to open up a couple of presents.  One of which was Blades (a helicopter toy) - to Isaac's delight. He excitedly announced that Santa brought him Blades for his birthday and could not be convinced that the gift was from Jason and I.

I think he had a good day. He was disappointed that he didn't grow a lot right away, but he did eat an awful lot of chocolate.
