OMG, You're 4?

Every month comes around and it seems one of our preschoolers is having a birthday.  It doesn't seem real till I look back and realize, wow, I've celebrated this little guys birthday 3 years now.  Our babes are growing up way too fast.  See a traditional celebration of Ethan's 4th birthday here.

We place in cupcake cups first.

Our Birthday Boy Ethan gets to choose what task he wants to do.  He chooses breaking the egg.

Next, our friend Jovani chooses the cakemix. Chocolate because Ethan chose his favorite.

Next in line, Katelyn breaks in another egg.

Piper pours in the oil.

Nate breaks in the third egg as his friend Noli watches over his shoulder.

Noli's turn.  She adds the final touch, the water.

 Now for the mixing. 

Each child gets their turn to hold and manage the electric mixer.  Many times you'll see a friend hold the bowl and others watch in amazement as they wait for their turn.

Check out the kids using their team work while mixing.

Once the aroma of cake has filled the home, we decorate our cupcakes and sing to wish our friend a Happy 4th Birthday. All while he makes his wish blowing out the candles.  

Happy Birthday Ethan.

Nothing like a little messy face 

to end our day.

Hugs to all.
