Last week Mcihael turned four so Saturday morning was all about him. He had his birthday breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa Chantry. Then we had a party with them and Scott and Jenalee. Michael opened a special present from Nathan and Liz. They recreated one of Nathan's books for him(it was so cute!) and made him a pencil can. Then Michael opened a Transformer from Scott and Jen. Mom loves it because it is made for # and 4 year olds and doesn't have any little pieces, yet Michael feels grown up with a Transformer of his own. Michael then dove into the giant gift bag from Chantrys (he literally could fit in it) and pulled out Planet Heroes and a rolling backpack. When he reached tot he bottom for his card he disappeared into the bag. It was funny! Then he opened the music player from Grandma and Grandpa Call. It didn't take him long to figure that out and he said that he was like mom. Last he opened a new helmet from Mom and Dad. He was thrilled by everything and the fact that he gets to ride a bike instead of a tricycle. We enjoyed cake and ice cream and then Chantrys had to leave.
Before lunch we went a rode bikes for a few minutes. Liz's tires were filled with air once again so she and Nathan flew around the parking lot. Megan pushed around on her tricycle and Michael had his first lesson in perserverance. He really did quite well for being on a bike for the first time, but he is still figuring otu the pedaling trick (he keeps breaking when he doesn't mean too). He will catch on soon though.
After naps for the kids (and mom) we had a BBQ. Our friends gave us a cute table for the kids and Michael helped me wash it. The kids played while Brian cooked and we all enjoyed a picnic otuside. What a fun day!
