Caleb Is Four!

While the world is starting to open up, many things are still closed.

This meant for Caleb's birthday, things were pretty low key.

He even snuck a nap in.


Caleb asked for a blue chocolate cake, with red sprinkles.

 Chocolate cake is a pretty easy request.

Red sprinkles added some flair. But how does one make a chocolate cake BLUE?
I decided to add some extra blue accents

and hope the boy was appeased.

 He was.

And it made an excellent candle holder, too.

Happy birthday, dancing boy!

Caleb also requested a specific menu: hot chocolate and peanut butter chocolate chip toast for breakfast, cheese sandwiches for lunch, and rice and melon for dinner.

Because who doesn't love plain white rice with a hint of watermelon juice?


And, of course, Caleb got presents.

He has become quite the expert at opening presents, not needing any help whatsoever.

Not that his siblings would think so. They kept trying to crowd and see.

He got a scooter,

A huge ball, puzzles,

And books. Which Daddy happily read to him.

We rounded out the day with a little backyard sprinkler action, even if it wasn't the warmest of days.

Happy birthday, little soaker!
