Beck's 4th Birthday!!!

Well, since it was Beck's first birthday to really celebrate....

I kinda wanted to go all out...

because seriously, he had a lot of birthday parties to catch up on.

We had a little afternoon swim party with close friends and family,

 that walked this journey with us,

and a few of his besties that he has made this year.

After discussing many themes,

momma finally settled on superhero.

and let me just tell ya...

I didn't get half the decorations put up before the first guest arrived.

I had the most adorable signs made...

that looked a lot like the invitation...

that never even made it up.

And then there's Beck...

he was just over the top excited...

it was pure joy...

BUT....

he would not smile for 1 single picture...

which made me CRAZY!

everytime I tried to take a picture,

he would tell me "no" and look away...

so all those adorable friends and family members that were there to celebrate...

I have no pictures...

which makes me so sad! :(

and then...

my camera was acting up and many of the pics from party day were blurry...

so here's a few iphone pics..

party favors - capes with their initials

t

life size superheroes!!!

(thanks aunt B!)

  

after the party...
family pic!

we are all looking a little ratchet!
it was four year old birthday party for crying out loud!

trying on our superhero capes with the cousins!

sweet big sister!

And then a few days later on his real birthday!!!

Just hanging out and being silly! 

He loved everything about his birthday!

I think he really got the hang of the whole ritual,

and we had so much fun celebrating our sweet Beck!
