My little Super Hero Turns Four!!!!

I don't know how it happens or why it does...but it happens! KIDS GROW UP!!! It's a sad fact for Moms....one that I don't easily accept. I like one year olds. They rock. I love the other ages too. But it's harder to see your younger babies growing up. Especially now that our family is complete. I only have one more child that will turn four. In his case, bring it on! Two is not always the funnest...but I digress.

Evan Jacob Aldridge is now officially four as of October 23rd. He is a sweet, bright, loving, sensitive, super hero that I will love forever and ever! We ended up having several mini parties for him this year. We went to North Carolina to visit my parents and my brothers; two are now in NC. So we had a shin dig there and had a blast. The next celebration was on his actual birthday and that involved just the immediate family- Mom, Dad, and the monkeys. Finally the day after his big day, we went to Build-A- Bear and enjoyed some time there with his best buddy. Pictures of that day are limited to respect the privacy of his friend who would like to remain "off the web". But what a fun party week we had with our little man! One of the perks of motherhood are the fun parties!!!

The pictures show the most recent party first, then work their way back to the North Carolina celebration.
