Donovan is 4!!

February 26, 2010: Donovan is officially FOUR!!

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Donovan's birthday.

We started by baking a triple chocolate cake (Donovan's choice, of course.)

Then, dinner of chocolate chip pancakes at IHOP. (Another choice made by Donovan.)

He absolutely loved the pancakes.

Then home for birthday cake.

Dan decorated the cake.

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Donovan. Happy Birthday to you."

He still needed a little help blowing out the candles. At least our neighbor, Alex, was glad to provide assistance.

He wanted to eat the whole wheel. Enjoying it and showing off his fish lips.


Then, onto presents.

Look Mom, I got monster trucks!

Then next day, we went to a very special, very intimate event called...

MONSTER JAM!!!

I don' think Donovan realized just how big these trucks were until he got up close and personal with them. We got to see them all before the show in the Pit Party. It was really fun.

Checking out Maximum Destruction.

He's rooting for Max D.

Mom likes Gravedigger.

His favorite truck: Blue Thunder.

Then, onto the show.

Superman.

An Escalade.

TAZ - the freestyle champ of the night.

Gravedigger on the school bus.

and he lost a wheel for the second time that night.

Maximum Destruction getting big air.

It really was a fun show, but proved to run just a little too late for Donovan.

We had such a good time and can't believe our little man is now 4!
