Graham's 4th Birthday!

Graham celebrated his 4th birthday 3 times! First was the actual day. As soon as Daddy got home from work he opened presents and we had cake. When he opened a lego truck from Reed he said, "I've been BEGGING for this!!!!" The cake was pretty sad looking (Mommy made it) but it tasted great.
Two days later I brought blueberry muffins to his classroom (his teacher is a huge healthnut and discourages typical birthday treats like cupcakes). Graham got to wear the special birthday vest and hat with 4 candles on top. He loved being the center of attention!
Finally, that following Saturday we had his party. We rented out the bowling alley at the American Club (they have 4 lanes) and invited a total of 11 kiddos for "Cosmic Bowling." They turn off the lights and pull the curtains and have neon lights on the lanes. Unfortunately the game zone is next door, separated by glass so it wasn't real dark but it was different and the kids loved it. After an hour of bowling most of us went out by the pool and spent the rest of the afternoon there. When we got home and he opened his gifts he shouted "Awesome!" after each one. His only wish that didn't come true was having all of his grandparents here! Some day......

Wow, Graham! 3 birthday parties, 2 cakes and a bunch of muffins. Must be great to turn 4 years old in Singapore.

We'll see you soon - can't wait!
