Caleb's 4th birthday party

Today we celebrated Caleb's 4th birthday with a simple party with family.  With a kitchen under construction and super high temps, we really went simple this time and I think it made the day that much more enjoyable!  Lillian and Caleb helped me create "dirt" for his cake and they were so happy to be included!

When the family members arrived the kids immediately started playing.  They were having so much fun playing that we never even got to the games I had planned.  I figured if everyone was already having a great time there was no need to change a thing!  After a good amount of playing and some yummy pizza for dinner, Caleb opened his presents.

This was probably my simplest cake to date and it was just perfect for my little digger!

Caleb, Lillian, and Gabriel were eager to try out the new toys!

I got the idea to make homemade play dough "boulders" from a booth at the craft fair in Houghton Lake.  I loved how they turned out and how much fun the kids had playing with them!

 

 

Happy Birthday, Caleb!  I am so happy we could celebrate YOU today!
