And to start out the day, have some snow!



Here's the birthday boy with one of his preschool teachers with the batch of cupcakes he brought to share with his classmates



Back at home after school on the big day celebrating with the family



Then on the following Saturday we had the big party. Not much theming (Daddy didn't get a chance to get out to get decorations due to the storm) but Miss Donna from next door made this awesome pirate cake for the big boy



Make a wish



How's that taste boy?



There's the first slice



Neighbors Bob, Simone & Amanda handling Little D while his big brother celebrates



And Miss Donna taking pictures with friends Tanner (Donna's), Lindsey (Amanda's sister) and Matt waiting patiently for yummy cake



Mr. K (Kevin, Donna's husband) completing the cake-cutting while Daddy went over to scoop ice cream



Here's Neil (Matt's dad) waiting for his cake too



Jared and his buddies celebrating. Samantha (Matt's sister) is on the end



The happy boy enjoying some of his gifts, some cool John Deere machines



The next day we headed up to Lansing to celebrate with Deb, Chuck, Ethan and Samantha



Here we have 3 out of 4 happy kids!

Nearly naked cuteness!



Apparently our house was a resting point for some (late) migrating birds



Here's a shot of the Norfolk Southern GP38-2 diesel switcher engine that hangs out in the Milan railroad yard



We pass it pretty often, and Jared loves looking at it, so here's a nice shot of it for you to enjoy



Kahlua reminding us that he was the first "little boy" in this household



Here's an old photograph of "Little Bear" whom I couldn't sleep without as a kid. See, eventually I got "too old for it" as determined by Mom, so she conveniently "lost" it on our way back home from Florida (where this picture was taken). She hid it. She still has it. She denies this. She lies.
