McKay’s 4th Birthday

Moe is officially 4.

Wow.

His birthday day was a bit of a wash.  Pun intended.  We’ve had loads of rain lately and on his birthday we had nearly 9 inches of rainfall in Tampa.  We had planned to visit Chuck E Cheese mid-morning and then go out to lunch.  Unfortunately, the roads were closed so we just had a calm morning at home.  It was a Monday but Ben took the day off so it was really nice to have him around.  Thankfully, the family was able to come over and the rain stopped mid-afternoon so we still had a fun party for him.

Christy and Matt were in town and Lucy’s 1st birthday was the day before so we did a combined party.  Also, the triplets and Wendy were in town to help us celebrate.

We had favorite foods from our childhoods for his party – hot dogs, mac n cheese, pizza, PB&J, fluffer nutteres, nutty buddies, fruit roll ups, gushers, yohoo, apple juice, chips, and fruit.  It was terribly unhealthy but I think everyone got a kick out of it.  I think the adults indulged in the junk food more than the kids.  They were too busy swimming and playing.

McKay loved his presents – faves were his new accessory kit of magnetic blocks and his bow and arrow.  He put his tooth fairy money and Grandma Cliffie’s birthday money towards a quadricopter which will arrive in the mail tomorrow!

After a month and a half without one, it’s nice to have a 4 year old again 🙂
