Asher turns 4!

We loved celebrating Asher this year! He is totally into Angry Birds these days so we decided to let that be our theme. The one thing he wanted? An Angry Birds birthday cake. My very talented cake decorating friend is in the midst of moving and couldn't help us out so I made do with green frosting, Angry Birds candles, and some Kit Kat bars. Thank you, internet.

We began the day with homemade cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven. Yum! I'm thinking of making this a birthday tradition.

We were off to church where he got a birthday lollipop. He couldn't wait to break that open once we were home. You'd think it was some grand prize. Gotta remember that--lollipops are about as good as anything at this age.

That evening, we had Jill and her girls and David and Ayami and the boys over for dinner--pizza and salad and cake. Asher got an Angry Birds puzzle, an Angry Birds play dough set, and a few other things. He loved it! He didn't like the attention for blowing out the candles on his cake. It made him self-conscious, so he ended up having Charlotte and Elaine help him. They were happy to oblige. He still is my tender hearted and quiet soul.

At 4, Asher...

• loves Angry Birds and other computer games.
• loves to tell me he loves me multiple times a day (please don't ever stop)

• likes the color red
• enjoys home more than any other place
• would rather not have to grocery shop with me

We love this guy to the moon and back!
