HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY to ZACHARY!!!
We had almost 50 people over to celebrate – luckily the weather cooperated, and the kids were able to play outside. My parents and sister bought him a bounce house … which was perfect entertainment for his party. THANK YOU to everyone who came and helped us make his birthday such a special day!
For his birthday cake, I made a castle cake using the mold my sister gave me for Christmas. I also made a bunch of cupcakes. I kept lunch super simple – a big salad and 3 types of pasta (mac/cheese, pesto and sundried tomatoes with parmesan, and meat sauce w/cheddar.) We also had out a veggetable platter, a cheese/cracker tray, and 2 bowls of chips. For favors, we gave out workbooks with stickers. He was supposed to have 4 balloons tied to his chair (since he’s turning 4), but one flew away when I opened my trunk.
Zachary sang happy birthday and blew out the candles … when the candles went out, he yelled,”STEAM!!!”
We let him open 4 gifts today, but plan to slowly dole out the rest over the course of the month. Apologizes in advance for late thank you cards!
My sister and her boyfriend Eddie came up from the Bay Area. They stayed for dinner and kept Zachary entertained. I think Zachary had a great day!
On Sunday, his actual birth date, we celebrated with James’ parents.

Seems like there was something for everyone. I’ll bet the kids loved the bounce house, play structure, toys, mac/cheese, castle cake, favors, singing, etc. And I’ll bet the adults loved the pesto. Or at least they better have. Wait, was there alcohol?
Happy 4th birthday, Zachary! And congratulations on your new car. I think you made a smart choice.
Cute! He looks SO happy! I’m sorry I missed it. I was a part of that bounce house gift too. Let’s pluralize “sisters”.
Happy birthday, Zic Zac Zoo.
