Buzz Lightyear Birthday

I can't believe that my little boy is already four years old! But the evidence is indisputable... now when you ask him how old he is, this is what you get:

Jonah had a great birthday party and a fantastic birthday. I decorated the entire living room with a Toy Story Theme. There are tons of great pictures online, so I printed them out and stuck them on the walls. Jonah was SO excited when he got up in the morning and saw all the decorations!

We played musical chairs, pin the Space Ranger Badge on Buzz, and a ball game that we called "Save the Galaxy!". Then we opened presents and played with bubbles outside for a while. When it was almost time for the party to end, we had cupcakes and ice cream.

Wanna see the cake and cupcakes I made for Jonah?

Pretty cool, huh? I got the idea while searching for ideas for Eli's birthday cake. I was originally going to make the planet an entire sphere instead of a dome, but I decided for my own sanity it was better this way. I like how the little green men cupcakes turned out too!

Since the birthday party was actually the day before Jonah's birthday, we got to spend his actual birthday hanging out with his Grandma. Then in the evening we had our own family party. Jonah had so much fun opening his presents! He got some cool Toy Story Legos, some cute clothes, a fantastic crane, and the one thing he wanted most of all....

Yep. He got his garbage truck! He wanted it SO badly, but I wasn't sure he would really play with it that much. I am happy to say I was wrong. The boys have been playing with it nonstop since we got it!

I am so glad Jonah had a great birthday. I know this because he wrote a note to Honey Daddy and me. He told us it said, "Dear Mommy and Daddy, Thank for you for the garbage truck. I love it! I had a great birthday! Love Jonah"

What a sweetheart!
