Ollie's Fourth Birthday

Ollie turned 4 on December 4th. Spencer and I got up early and decorated the house. Then we woke him up singing happy birthday. We spent the morning just playing and having fun. We were playing with the balloons but then Ollie popped them all except for the purple one because purple is his favorite color and he "only wanted the purple one." I figured it was his birthday so if he wanted to pop his balloons that was fine with me. He also spent the morning talking about Grandma coming and how he and Papa were going to pick her up from the airport. After Grandma got here we went to Chuck E'Cheese. Ollie had so much fun playing the games. He loves to redeem his tickets for a prize. (I forgot to take the camera so no pictures of that part.) After Chuck E'Cheese we came home for cake and presents. He is really into Santa this year so he wanted me to make him a Santa cake. We also bought him a santa plate to put his cake and ice cream on. He was very thrilled. :) Then he opened his presents. He got moon sand from Grandma and Grandpa Beck. (The next morning he spent about three house playing with it). He loves moon sand and this was in a kit with some fun molds. We gave him some books and a booster car seat. (Kind of boring but we saw them in Walmart one day and told him that he would get one when he was a little bigger so he decided that he wanted that for his birthday.) Lily gave him a hungry hippo game. He also got some money from Great Grandpa and Grandma Beck and Grandma Stirland. He was thrilled to have his own money. He wanted to go buy something so we went to the dollar store. He bought two things for himself and then spent the rest of the money buying Christmas present for us. He is such a sweet kid.
