Larry's 4th Birthday

My little boy has been on my mind today. He's just so loving and adorable... and by the way, he had a birthday last month. (poor middle child...)

Although there are some down sides to having a Christmas birthday, one positive aspect is having so many aunts, uncles, and cousins around almost every year! He had the largest and most diverse group this year with cousins from BOTH sides of the family there to sing to him!

In addition, we had the Amazing opportunity to have Aunt Karla make him a specialized birthday cake. It was Incredible! No other words can describe it. Incredible! See for yourself:

Understandably, by the time we got around to eating the cake, there were a couple little finger pokes in the top and side... not to mention some skid marks from Lightning McQueen and Holly... but hey, it's his birthday cake...

He loved it from start to finish! After his birthday, he asked for cake for every meal (seriously, breakfast, lunch, and dinner) until it was gone. And if that wasn't enough, when we were making plates (drawing on the paper part that gets sent in), he said, "Mommy, draw a track, like on my cake!" I don't think any other cake in History has had so much love and reverence.

Thank you, THANK YOU, Aunt Karla! Try as I may, I know my baby boy gets lost amongst his sisters sometimes and deserves more attention, but without a doubt, he knew on his fourth birthday, that this cake was special for HIM!
