Buka Bear is no baby!

On February 13, my "Buka Bear," as he has been affectionately known , turned 4! I just can't believe that he is no longer my little baby or even mytoddler, but rather my well 3rd big kid! So big in fact, that he asked for a Nintendo Dsi for his birthday! Here he is on his birthday morning!
SO thrilled to get the Dsi!!!
After we played with that for a while it was off to his party! This year we had a "kid" party at Monkey Joe's! He had been talking about it for weeks - so he was SUPER excited when it was time to go! He invited all his friends from his daycare class and all of our close family friends as well! Here is a pic of the boys -Nick, Henry, Luke and Jack!
And here he is with his buddy, Maya!
Here he is with Cami and Syd!!! For them being identical twins - or at least REALLY close - Luke has somehow always been able to tell them apart!!! Here looks like he is loving being the middle for this pic!
There were some adults there as well - good thing too, they managed to help me look after all the kids running around!

Gigi, Nana and Papa - with crazy Uncle Steve in the background!
Uncle Steve and Aunt Jackie
Three of his daycare teachers! Ms. Katie, Ms. Laura (and her daughter, Emily) and Ms. Laycee!
Great friends of ours - the Wilsons and the Walters - along with Dad!
The theme of the party was of course, DORA - but with a little bit of Diego thrown in as well!!!
So, Peggy Brown made the perfect cake!
Luke was SO excited to sit atop his inflatable "throne"...
...while I was doing my best to pass out the hats!
We managed to get all the kids lined up for one L - O - N - G photo!
After the party was over - we headed across the street to get pizza! Check out the cute heart shaped pizza we scored for the boys! Gotta love having a baby born one day before Valentine's day!
When all was said and done, we had one very happy 4 year old on our hands! Dan and I couldn't be prouder of our little man! Happy 4th Birthday, Buka!
