Happy Birthday Aaron!

Aaron was very excited that his birthday finally arrived!  We celebrated his fourth birthday in Hamilton a few days earlier, and then had a fun day at home on his actual birthday.  Happy birthday to my newest four-year-old!  We hope and pray that the coming year will bring you growth, learning, and many blessings. 

Happy to be Four!  

Looks like Aunt Lauren's pretty excited about the birthday party too :)

Always full of expression

 Excited about a new pirate book from Uncle Tim and Aunt Dell

After a wind and ice storm, the power was out for a good chunk of the day while we were at Mom and Dads.  We ended up having Zarky's pizza for dinner that night.

 A piggy bank from Opa and Oma!  He's just a little thrilled about that!

Having a Skype party with Grandpa and Grandma and some of the aunts and uncles in Grandpa's hospital room.  It's amazing what you can do with technology!
