Anderson's 4th Birthday Day

Anderson's birthday fell on Wednesday this year and he had a fun day.  When he woke up that morning Reese and I were telling him that he was now 4 years old and he was adamant in explaining to us that he wasn't actually 4 until he had blown out his candles and opened presents.  So, he got to be 3 for most of the day, I guess!  We met up with a playgroup at a local park for an Easter egg hunt in the morning and in the afternoon he had a special friend over to play.  For dinner, Anderson chose to have Mommy, Daddy & Everett take him to GattiTown for some pizza and games.  Since it was his "actual birthday" and not his "carnival birthday" (the terms he became familiar with in all the talk leading up to birthday events) he got to also choose his very own small cake.  Of course, he chose it to be decorated in Lightning McQueen.  We took the cake to GattiTown and had our own little family party.  Anderson opened a few presents that were from family members once we were back home, with his favorite being the two new games for his LeapPad.
