Mason's 4th Birthday

Today Mason turned 4!! Yesterday, about every hour, I would ask Mason: "Mason, guess what tomorrow is?" and he would reply: "I know, I know, it's my birthday!!" I just get so excited for birthdays and parties and all that fun stuff. But he woke up early today (6:00 a.m) and was so excited that it was his birthday. I was happy I hadn't taken all the excitement out of it! This morning Mason and I made a train cake for his birthday. It was really fun making it and Mason had a blast putting all the candy on it! It was a good thing we didn't have anyone here eating cake and ice cream with us because there were marks all over the cake where both Mason and Jared had snuck a couple of fingers in! Back in July Mason started telling me the different things he wanted to do for his birthday. There were only three request that stayed consistent this whole time. He wanted to go to Del Taco to play on the "payground," go to seven peaks, and go camping. Since seven peaks is now closed and it is too cold to go camping I had to bargain with him. I told him we could go to Del Taco then come home and build a big fort in the living room and sleep in there instead of going camping. I was happy that he, along with Abby, loved the idea! So we built a fort and filled it with blankets and they are all asleep right now! I am amazed at how quickly they both fell asleep!
