Birthday Boy!

Well, I was almost caught up... and then we moved, so... I'm not anymore. A lot has happened in these last couple months, but I'll start with my sweet boy's fourth birthday.

At four years old, Carsten is a total animal lover. He wants to be an animal rescuer with his big brother. He is praying for a bunny. For the record, I (the one who never wants to have a pet, ever) actually suggested getting him one for his birthday. But it wasn't great timing, and we really didn't have a place for one. That is how much I love him though! He just melts my heart. He loves growing up. He is so proud of how strong he is and loves showing off all of his tricks. He also has some pretty sweet dance moves. :-)

His big day started with birthday streamers for a sleepy boy.

And breakfast "cupcakes!"

And he got to have a fun lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Hagen at a park.

That night our horse loving boy got to open the presents Papa Joe and Ronni sent. He loved these horses so much, but this sweet little guy immediately picked one for Tyler and one for Aria to "keep forever." He is such a sweet brother. :-)

Carsten chose a family day over a birthday party, so that weekend we went to the Science Museum!

They had so much fun there.

They even got to go to the Omni Theater, where Aria fit in her nap.

After we left we headed to Benihana for his birthday dinner.

Love him!

Then we came home for his celebration. :-)

Carsten wanted a Paw Patrol cake. He was very clear that he wanted Paw Patrol this year, and Super Heroes next year.

Blowing out candles! With the help of his little sister.

Carsten, we love you so much sweet boy. You are sweet and so much fun. You make us laugh constantly. And you love your brother and sister so much that you are quick to give up things you like to make them happy. Your heart is so big! You bring us more joy than you can even imagine. Happy Birthday Baby!
