Happy 4th Birthday, Lance!

Lance deserved many parties, so we began his birthday last Sunday, at the cabin.

(L) Grampa Martin is a very talented cupcake froster. Who knew?

(R) Lance takes care of the candle-lighting.

Lance and his Martin side of the family enjoy homeade icecream and cupcakes... um, ya, I think Kyle really liked it, too.

...Meanwhile, back at home, Lance had a party with his friends.

Duck, Duck, Goose was a hit with these guys!

(Left) Look at this, Mandy is sitting and enjoying herself. Little does she know that Lance has plans for her - she's soon to be the GOOSE!

(Right) If you turn your head a little sideways, you can see Lance giggling as Mandy chases after him. I guess I was caught up in the excitement and forgot which way goes straight.

(Left)I love Lance's face here: He's positively beaming as his friends sing "Happy Birthday" to him.

(Right) Lance and a couple of great friends enjoy their cupcakes together.

Finally, it's the big day. Now Lance can say that he is FOUR YEARS OLD!

He opens his "awesome" Camo Backpack. Lance has been using this word a lot lately. It's really cute.

Now Lance is all set to go to preschool... or on his mission. What do you think?
