4 on the 4th

Today, December 4th is Hayden's 4th Birthday!

He was spoiled & loved every minute. 

 After church we had dinner and a birthday party @ G Ma & G Pa's house.  We celebrated Caroline's birthday too since she will be gone when it's her actual birthday on the 16th.  Hayden was sure to tell her that she is not really 4 yet! 

 The rainbow cake turned out quite pretty!

 Hayden also had a party a week ago while we were still in Arizona.  He wanted cake pops that we left unfrosted so the kids could do it themselves.

 Having all of the Arizona cousins makes for a really fun party.  Hayden was in heaven with all of the "hunting stuff" that he got. 

I really can't believe he is 4!  He is such a joy to have around and I wish he could stay 4 forever.  I think he is the most animated and clever kid I have ever known.  

Right now he is obsessed with all things hunting.  Guns, animals, binoculars, clothes, shoes, knives, backpacks, etc.... anything that his dad uses to go hunting Hayden has his own version.  And given the opportunity he can talk hunting with anyone!  I don't know how Mark managed to get such a perfect copy of himself but he did and we love it. The only complaint that Hayden had about his birthday today was that he had to go to church.  He really couldn't believe that he had to go and didn't go very happily.  When church was over though he was pretty pleased that everyone in primary sang happy birthday to him & gave him a little present. 

Everyone needs a 4 year old!
