Colby's 4th Birthday Party!

Friday 5-22-09 Colby had is 4th birthday party at our house. It seems like we spent the whole day getting ready, but it was so much fun. We had the party at our house this year. Our sweet neighbors the Economous let us borrow this gigantic blow up water slide that was probably 10ft tall. It had two slides and a pool at the bottom. The kids had an absolute blast playing on the slide and the splash pad and some even ventured into the sandbox and the play set area. After a good hour of playing we played pass the present, and then Colby opened presents. Colby was so shy when it came time to sing "Happy Birthday" and do the cake. His friend Jacob actually looks like he is going to blow out the candle in the picture! Then with a little prompting he stepped up to the plate and blew out that number 4 candle.  Later that night he told me he was scared of all the birthday singing and kids. Funny. But there were 13 of them screaming "Happy Birthday." After they all had transformer cupcakes we had fun beating up the pinata. Wow you should have seem them scramble for the candy. They were like hungry wolves! It was funny. We had a great time, and we were so grateful that everyone came and had fun. Everyone gave Colby such awesome presents and we have been playing with those since right after the party. Brody has even had a blast helping open boxes. He has found all kinds of dangerous plastic things to chew on.  Colby's favorite gift hands down is the storm trooper costume he got from his friend Jacob, and running in close second or even a tie is the dinosaur imaginext toy that his cousins Madisen, Andrew, and Emalie gave him. They always buy him the coolest stuff, but he has loved every toy he got. Colby had several friends from pre-school there, his cute-as-a-button neighbor Meghan and all his other good buddies from church. What a special party!
