Dallin turned 4! He was so excited for his birthday this year. He would ask me several times every day for the last month or so when it was his birthday. It finally came! Jeff's brother was blessing his baby, so to start off the day we got the kids up at 5:30 am to get there on time. Dallin really wanted donuts. They were not very thrilled to be up at this hour though...
Then we drove 2 hours for the wonderful baby blessing. Then we went to their house for a couple hours, and Dallin had a blast playing with his cousins and the dogs. He spent almost the whole time in their backyard. Grandma Petersen got him a yummy ice cream cake. He hid behind Jeff when we sang to him...I guess he is still kind of shy.
Then we headed home. I'm pretty sure 4 of the 5 of us were asleep for part of the drive (Grandma Butts came the night before to visit). Then it was time for presents!!! Dallin could hardly wait. He got a new helicopter, a firetruck, a lego tractor, lego fire station, a new boat, a Mater bike, some puzzles, a new tent, a bike helmet and bell, and a DOW truck (doppler on wheels - the truck they use to chase tornados). Alyssa tried to help him open all his presents. She even tried to unwrap some without Dallin's help, which he did not like.
Here is Dallin opening his dow truck.
Here is he is opening his new boat.
Alyssa loves to play in his tent.
And ride his bike...
After he opened his presents it was time to ride his bike to the pond and drive his boat. I'm pretty sure daddy enjoyed this activity more than Dallin :) That is until it broke, so we had to use Jeff's boat to push it back to us...another one is on the way.
Then it was cake time :)! Dallin really wanted a garbage truck cake, so Jeff and I made one for him. It even had a dumpster and little orange trash cans.
On Monday night Dallin picked Choo Choo Johnny's to eat for his birthday. It is a place where they have a train that brings you your food. There is also a train that goes along the whole restaurant. The kids were great because they just sat and watched the trains the whole time. It was awesome. Dallin loved it so much, but I think Alyssa was more fascinated :)

I love how excited Dallin gets when he opened his presents! Very cute!
OH MY GOSH - Your garbage truck cake is amazing! Sounds like Dallin had a VERY fun and busy birthday. I bet you guys were all so tired by the end of the day. Alyssa is the cutest little girl! And what a cool restaurant...Tay would love it too. We seriously need to catch up some time. :)
