Happiest 4th Birthday Walter!!!

At bedtime the night before Walter's birthday he shows us it's his very last day of being 3!

In the morning he woke up to find his birthday ring!

He was happy about that but not happy he had to wait for Arden to get home from school to open his presents!

At last it's opening time! He told us he wanted to open his presents in the playroom instead of at the table which worked out fine cause he had some pretty big ones! We were joined by our neighbors (one of them wore all orange just for Walter!)

Arden is great at helping...

And Claire was pretty interested too!

Walter just wanted to open, open, open!!!

He could hardly believe he got new bird pj's! They were his favorite when he was 2 and he wore them to death! (You gotta love Ebay!)

We got him a sand and water table for the deck! (Arden was *totally* into it too!)

This little sweetheart is in Walter's class at school. The other day Walter asked why you had to be a grown up to get married. I responded by asking him who he would marry and he immediately said this little girls name. Isn't she cute?!

Apparently Scotty is really good for snuggling with! (Ladies?!)

And for helping big girls climb trees...
