pictures from our bode man's 4th bday!

below are a bunch of pics from boden's 4 year old bday party! for whatever reason, i had a super hard time getting them to load properly, so they are all in random order and i am not going to rearrange them :) hope you enjoy anyway! in case you can't tell or weren't there, boden had a thomas bday party. boden is SO into thomas as many of you know!

boden and grammy intent on watching the electronic trains go around the thomas cake that daddy set up. boden spent a great deal of time here before the party.


three generations! it really struck me with this picture the resemblance between them all. seems like it stands out more with the three of them together.


one of the very first presents were thomas books from amma. boden wanted to drop everything and read his books. we gave in to him (as it was HIS bday and all), and grammy, our in house professional reader, treated us to a reading of 'thomas the runaway.' boden wanted to do more. had to 'force' him to finish opening up his presents. how many four year olds to you know like that??? ;)


silly daddy!


silly aunt nae!!


heidi wanted her own reading from auntie liz!


silly boden!


cousin shane was so excited to be here from oklahoma! so were we!


is heidi doomed? she has been playing a lot with thomas since boden's bday party. she also loves bob the builder..... hmmm, she does like dolls.....


the two mommies that made this day possible!!! hugs and kisses to you both!!!


aunt nae all the way from oklahoma!


we let boden choose the menu for his bday:

curious george gummies


yogurt


pudding


noodles with parm cheese (we added some sauce for the less hearty adults ;) )


thomas track right down the middle of the table!


boden is serious about his thomas play.


4 years old!!!


much time was spent looking at the thomas cake that we picked up the day before....


:)


miss carolyn (soon to be AUNT carolyn!!!) and uncle robbie came up for the weekend too!


birthday countdown!


thank you to all that celebrated our sweet boden's bday, both in body or in spirit! you are all special to us! thank you for loving our wonderful boy with us!

Thoroughly enjoyed this post!
Lynnae's pic with tongue out looks tons like you! Not that I picture you with your tongue out, but somehow that perspective makes it more plain.
Carolyn's beautiful-- I'll look forward to meeting her someday.
That cake looks awesome! Where'd you get it?

I'm glad! Cuz you guys are one of the reasons we started the blog! :)

The older Lynae and I get, the more I think we look alike. Sometimes if I look at a pic quickly, I'll first think it is me. You should see our cousin Kelly. Lynae and her really look a lot alike too, though not me as much. Interesting how God mixes us all up :)
