Scenes from a Buzzy Birthday

A certain little mister recently celebrated his fourth birthday.

It was an event that would normally have warranted a birthday post on the pages of this here blog.  BUT.  But I haven’t been feeling the bloggy bug lately, in case you hadn’t noticed.  I’m not entirely sure of the future of Such The Spot.  But that’s beside the point.

Today, I’m here to show off share some pictures.  Mostly because Miss Kelly (Jayce’s godmother) requested that I do so. :)

It was a super great day – one that perfectly suited our four-year-old Buzz Lightyear fan.  His special treatment started early–on Wednesday–when Grandma Kiss Poke (long story) flew in for the occasion.  That event was followed up by not one, but two days worth of lunch dates in town.  By the time his birthday actually rolled around, Jayce was already drunk off the attention and affection his grandma had been showering on him for two days.

Come Saturday morning, the fun continued.  He awoke to the sound of Mickey Mouse singing the happy birthday song (courtesy of Daddy’s iPod).  He got dressed quickly and headed downtown with Daddy for early members-only hours at the zoo.  Meanwhile, us girls were here at home, hard at work on a cake and decorating.

Before they headed home, Daddy stopped by the party store to let Jayce pick out a special birthday balloon.  Betcha can’t guess what he picked…

When they got home later on that morning Jayce was surprised to walk into a room full of balloons.  Our “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” shouts took him back a bit; he was a touch shocked by our enthusiasm I think.

It wore off quickly though.

We spent the day playing his favorite games, opening presents, and eating the meal he requested (chicken and broccoli).  Grandma Kiss Poke even made her famous potato salad and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

There was cake.  Homemade vanilla ice cream.  And we closed out the evening all crowded onto the couch, watching Tarzan.

Little mister could barely keep his eyes open come bedtime.  But he couldn’t pass on the birthday sleepover he and his daddy had been planning for a week.  The two of them dug out sleeping bags and flashlights and took to the floor, falling asleep only after the very last shadow puppet had been identified.

All in all, a perfect day.  See for yourself.

    The future of Such the Spot…I will miss you here too, should you decide to go. We’ll have to work out a more frequent phone call schedule.

    RE: the blog…its funny. I’m feeling the same way about mine…Kind of wondering if my blog moment has run its course. And although I would be sad not to pop by every once in awhile to “see you” at your blog, I feel your ambivalence!

  6. What a cutie – Happy Birthday Jayce – from Gramma Teetsie –
