Turning FOUR!

This was the beginning of birthday week. Son1's actual birthday did not fall on a school day. In Hawaii, though, children's birthdays are celebrated in school, in addition to home celebrations. Parents send in a treat, and sometimes even goody bags. But we decided to keep it simple, because the class and the teachers were invited to his birthday party. I knew we were going to have birthday cake the next day, so instead I chose a double chocolate mousse cake for the class. There is no actual cake inside. It's chocolate mousse covered by this chocolate topping. Whatever dessert I sent in would be too much for his classmates. So I sent in something the teachers could take home with them.

His teacher played her ukulele and sang Happy Birthday to the birthday king. So Hawaii! Son1 wore a shirt Hubby bought him on his last trip that matches his. He has been waiting for his birthday since June. This was two days before his actual birthday, and I just kept thinking, well, he's not actually four yet. He's still our three year old!
