Charlie is FOUR!

Charlie Austin turned FOUR on Friday, January 2nd.  It's hard to believe that he is already four! His room was decorated with red balloons and streamers when he woke up.  He was a pretty happy four year old! Yes, he has on Dusty Planes pajamas- thank you Uncle Adam! 

I asked him if he wanted to spend the day with Mommy on his birthday or go to school and celebrate it with his friends.  He wanted to go to school- which I was pretty sad about- he's growing up. :(  But, Justin reminded me that this will probably be the only time he will be at school to celebrate on his birthday, which made it a little better.  I brought cupcakes during snack time and he was in heaven!!

When Daddy got home, we gave him his gift.  He could not wait to open his present.

Magformers!! He LOVES them!!! He loves building things and these are shapes that have magnets on them.  You can build anything with them and he instantly built a house.  He was so proud of himself!

We then headed to his favorite restaurant for some yummy chips and queso! Good choice!

Once we got home we did baths and got the boys ready for bed.  Part of his birthday present was new big boy furniture.  Some of the pieces are on back order but his bed came on Friday.  

He was pretty excited to sleep in his new bed and did great!

Night night sweet FOUR year old! We love you!!!
