Mateo's 4th birthday!

Our little guy turned 4 back in January...just took me a while to actually organize the pictures enough to blog about it.  He got his first big boy bike which was a big surprise for him! 
On his actual birthday he got to pick out what he wanted for breakfast and dinner.  So, of course he picked pancakes for breakfast, and cheeseburgers and fries for dinner.  He also got an ice cream cake and when we went to order it I let him pick out the flavor.  "Green, because it's my favorite color!"  Thank goodness for mint chocolate chip.  Good choice, Mateo!  (Don't ask what's going on with Elise's hair here...I don't remember and I don't think I want to!)

To keep the celebration going, we had a monster truck themed birthday party for him at a gymnastics place.  It was complete with PB & Monster Jam sandwiches (get it??), checkered flag cupcakes, and little boys and girls revved up and ready to work off some sugar!  As you will see, the adults got in on the fun too!  Another year, Mateo.  You can stop growing up now...seriously.
