FOUR... really???!!!

Aidan turned 4 on Monday. Wow. The little guy is growing up. I wish I could capture/bottle his excitement at and before his birthday party. He was bouncing from the inside out- so was Owen. They both had such a wonderful time. We were a little concerned because for some reason Aidan woke up at 3am the morning of his party and was up for the day. His party wasn't until 3pm-he didn't nap after his early morning wake up...he said "I really don't need much sleep," in a matter of fact, 'my body is just made that way,' sort of way, when I was trying to talk him into the beauty of sleep. He wasn't buying it. He opted to play quietly until the late hour of 6am, when the rest of us pulled ourselves out of bed. But, the lack of sleep didn't, in anyway, impact his fun. Here are some pictures:

Happy Birthday to you big boy!!
