Happy 4th Birthday, Edric!

This is the birthday crown I made for him. He didn't want to wear it, but was concerned my feelings would be hurt if he didn't. I assured him it was okay if he didn't want to wear it. He really is a sweet little guy!

BALLOONS!

Presents?!? I didn't expect presents!!!

Just what I wanted!

"I love you, Mommy!"

I love you, Daddy

The ice cream was green in honor of Christmas. There was green everywhere!
