One Year Older and Wiser Too

Forest is Four! It Boggles my mind how fast he has grown up! Where did my teeny-tiny 6lb 12oz baby go? And who is this big boy with attitude and a hilarious personality? It has been a fun four years to watch Forest grow and learn, he is one really special boy who has taught me so much and has helped me grow up too.

We celebrated Forest's birthday a couple days early so his grandparents, who were visiting, could join in the celebration. We also spread the party-ing over a couple days so we could pack in all the activities we wanted to do. Yay for fun Birthdays!

The first day of Forest's birthday celebration was spent at the zoo (i will post pictures of that day later) and the second day Forest woke up to a house decorated just for him.

We followed the McBride tradition and sang Happy Birthday to Forest when he woke up and as he ran through his decorated door.Before leaving to go biking up in Manly, Forest got to open one present! When we got home from biking we sang Happy Birthday one more time and Forest blew out his candles (sorry no picture of him with his cupcakes or blowing out the candles, I took a video which I am having a hard time downloading to blogger)

p.s. he really did have 4 candles on the cupcakes the one was just getting lit at the time the photo was taken.After cupcakes, and to Forest's great delight, he (finally) got to open the rest of his presents. Forest is the best at opening presents, He gets so excited about each and every gift.

He is also so sweet and will thank who ever gave him the gift over and over.In this picture Forest is yelling "AWESOME!"Forest showing off his gigantic muscles and his awesome new gift! Happy Birthday Forest we love you so so so so so so much!
