| What is a visit to the North Pole without Santa?? |
 |
| Cautious Colby was a little nervous! |
 |
| Next we were off to the spinning decorations. |
 |
| Even Daddy had a blast at this one!! |
 |
| I can't get enough of these big smiles, I can almost hear their giggles through the picture! |
 |
| After the spinning we had to take a breather, Colby and Jason look so similar in this picture...equally UNAMUSED! |
 |
| Chasey picked the sled with his favorite number five on it. |
 |
| Daddy and Colby, and random North Pole worker (oh that could come off so wrong!) |
 |
| Mommy and Chasey |
 |
| Mom and Colby |
 |
| Watch out, Chasey is at the wheel! |
 |
| WAHOO MOTORCYCLES! |
 |
| Colby LOVES it too! |
 |
| Future Sons of Anarchy!! |
 |
| Colby picked his favorite number, 8 of course!! |
 |
| The horses were not quite as big of a hit. |
 |
| A little different than his expression on the motorcycle huh? |
 |
| This is why we love this place, it is never too crowded and it is in the shade. 5 Stars from this mama! |
 |
| Can't beat a classic carousel! |
 |
| Chasey, giving his horse a little love pat. |
 |
| Gondola - North Pole style. I will never forget riding this with Chase the year before. He started squirming and I thought he was going to slip right out of the seat. Just looking at this pic gives me butterflies! |
 |
| I was so nervous about him falling off that I had a death grip around his waist the whole time, fortunately it doesn't seem to effect Chasey one bit! |
 |
| Dad and Colby |
 |
| ...loving the view! |
 |
| Trains will always be number one for these boys! |
 |
| Anticipatory excitement! |
 |
| Chase and Colby went to check out a little elf puppet show. |
 |
| Like the rest of us, they realize there is something inherently creepy about puppet shows...so they held hands :D |
 |
| Love of my life |
 |
| So thankful to live in beautiful Colorado! |
 |
| Rocket ship time! |
 |
| Colby looks a little annoyed that the kid behind him appears to be shooting him. |
 |
| He gets over it quickly when he realizes he can shoot the kid in front of him, boys and guns... |
 |
| Ferris Wheel (the highest one in the world!) |
 |
| Love this boy! |
 |
| Last but not least, a ride in the boats! |
 |
| Colby was pooped, snuggled with his tractors the whole way home. |
 |
| Chasey was equally spent. What a fun day for all of us! |
 |
| To get our day started off right we had some chocolate milk, one of Colby's favorite beverages! |
 |
| Next it was off to the Egg and I for a special birthday breakfast with mom and dad! |
 |
| Gram works there and loves to spoil Colby, here is his special birthday muffin! |
 |
| Next it was off to Toys R Us, Jason and I were such suckers I think we would have bought Colby anything he wanted. |
 |
| Colby headed straight to the sports section and picked out a baseball helmet and bat, I don't know many four year olds that would choose that at a toy store but that's Colby for ya! |
 |
| Next it was time to head home and play baseball with his favorite team mate...Chasey! |
 |
| I don't know about you but I don't think I'd want to face this hitter on the mound! |
 |
| This pitcher looks pretty serious too! |
 |
| Now there is a face I recognize! |
 |
| Finally it was time for Colby's favorite dinner, watermelon and mac and cheese! I tried to get all fancy and make Paula Dean mac and cheese, I think Colby would have just preferred the Annie's kind out of the box! |
 |
| Now the birthday celebration could really begin! Gram was there with Unc. |
 |
| Bobby, Suka, Poppa, Daniel and Tyler were there too! |
 |
| Now he is SOOOO Big! |
 |
| A tractor for our little tractor man! |
 |
| Love this excited face! |
 |
| This one too! |
 |
| Happy birthday to Colby!! |
 |
| Candle time! |
 |
| And we finished the day out with a nerf gun war with some of our favorite opponents. What a way to kick off his fourth year of life! PS: You should know that Colby slept with his bat and helmet for many nights following his birthday! |
