Happy 4th Birthday Dylan!

I cant believe Dylan is 4 years old! I LOVE planning his parties but this year was a little different. This was the first year he had a request for the theme. He has a new obsession for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so it was no surprise he wanted a TMNT party! We rented out the Crystal Lake Clubhouse & invited family & friends to celebrate with pizza & cupcakes. We also invited a few of his friends from school. He was so excited his buddies Wyatt & Colton were able to come. Decorations were pretty simple. I used all of the Ninja Turtle costumes that Dylan already had. The kids had so much fun dressing up as their favorite turtle!

At 4 years old Dylan loves to shop! He definitely gets it honest! He always wants to go to Target, Walmart or TJ Maxx lol. He LOVES to eat strawberries, loves to dress up and is OBSESSED with anything super hero related! He is such a sweet and loving boy. Dylan brought spider man to his 4 year check up. He wasn't to thrilled getting his shots but happy to know it will be a few years before he has get them again! His checkup was great & he a perfectly healthy growing boy!

Girls night, Snow & Thanksgiving 2014

I had my first girls night since Dylan's been born! Yes, it took almost 4 years! The 4 of us have been friends for 20 years. We have been through so much together & realized since having kids we had neglected making time for just us. We had a blast talking, drinking wine  & making new memories. It's so important to spend time with your friends.

 

Here are a few random pictures of  family fun :
