Ev's Birthday

Evan had been looking forward to his 4th birthday for a long time. He had told me specifically all the components necessary for him to have a good time. We didn't disappoint him.

On Monday Evan turned four years old. For his birthday he wanted a Spiderman cake. Now, he didn't want the "red Spiderman." He wanted the black Spiderman from the last movie. Luckily for me, Chris' mom was in town and assisted me (did it all!) in making a beautiful Spider man cake. Evan's reaction: "It's perfect!"
We let him have Grandma Compan's presents in the morning that she had mailed. He just couldn't wait to start the "opening." He has been toting that backpack and wearing those glasses ever since!

His birthday dinner, all my boys can dictate the menu on birthday night, consisted of pizza and juice boxes! (I added a few extra treats for the adults.) After dinner, a few of his friends came over. His babysitter from last year, Gina, and her husband and kids came. Evan's preschool friend, Gabriel, and his family came over. The kids all played in the yard and ate cake together.

His favorite new possession is the driver that Chris and I bought him. Now, he can golf like the big boys! I will send pictures of that later.

At the end of the night, Evan was content. I asked him before he went to sleep if he had a good time, and he just grinned. He had a great day.

Sounds like a good birthday for a little boy and the cake looks awesome.

Okay, what's the obsession with the black spiderman!? Same in my house, too. I guess I need to see the new movie...
