Vince Turned 4 on Father's Day!

We've had a busy June, with lots of good sunshine and warm weather!  Well, except for Vince's birthday pool party.  It started out sunny that morning, but quickly turned into a cloudy dreary day.  That didn't keep the kids out of the pool though.  God bless little kids and their ability to swim in cold pools!

I ventured away from the Costco cakes that we've been getting every year, and went all out with a Thomas Train cake from Stop and Shop.  Oh my, it was totally over the top.  Let's just hope Vince doesn't expect this every year from now on.  Complete with mountain scenery, trees and tracks, there was enough frosting to turn the candy man into a diabetic.

 Time to lick the frosting off Thomas!

 

And just in case they didn't get enough sugar from the cake, we had a train piñata they could take some swings at.

Vince got the inaugural first hit

 Zoë did her best to get it open too

 Everyone got a chance, and then the masses got tired of that and went for the trap door.  No one went away disappointed.  I'll just say I agree with Mike that I have a habit of overfilling piñatas

  Vince spent the rest of the evening arranging his birthday presents into a convenient display for all of us to see.

Father's Day opened with Vince and Mike getting breakfast in bed, complete with OJ and milk in sippy cups, and Zoë giving father's day kisses to Daddy and birthday hugs to brother Vince

Happy Birthday to my little man, and may you have many many more.....
