Jarrett Turns 4!

Four must be Jarrett's lucky number. He got to have two birthday parties this year! On the day of his birthday, Robert had to work until 9 p.m., so we had a small party with an M&M ice cream cake and a few presents after he got home:
Jarrett has been asking for this present for six months now. Every time we went to Target I had to remind him he either needed to save his quarters for it or wait until his birthday. We know how much Jarrett likes to spend his quarters, so he ended up waiting until now to get it. Of course now it's not available at Target, so thank goodness for the internet!

A few days after Jarrett's birthday, much of Robert's family (13 adults and 11 children) came to visit, so we decided to have a BIG party then. This was the party Jarrett's been most looking forward to since we received the Birthday Express catalog six months ago. He chose a Speed Racer theme, so we had the balloons, plates and cups to use as we ate pizza and a Speed Racer cake. Luckily there were lots of cousins to help him blow out the candles:
I think he had a great time:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARRETT!
