Just as I mentioned in my earlier post, Tison opened up his brand new suit Sunday morning and wore it to church. He looked like a little "STUD", so handsome. That morning was also filled with balloons, a doughnut cake, and a couple of more gifts after church (Thomas the train Lego set and a striped polo shirt and jeans). He is so cute. He told me that the gifts were exactly what he wanted. After lunch Paul and I took a long nap trying to recover from the loss of sleep during my friends wedding preparations (which turned out beautiful thanks to her family and friend Veronica). Then as Tison had requested we had Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Apples and Cranberry (except there were cherries because I ran out of cranberries) nut salad with Feta Cheese Crumble and Newman's Balsamic Vinagarette Dressing. And for dessert....Dark Chocolate covered Strawberries - a FAVORITE in our home.

Monday morning came with more excitement! Mima, Papa, and Uncle Chris were coming to CELEBRATE and we loaded up in the car and met them at Disney's Contemporary Hotel where we ate at CHEF MICKEY'S (thank you Mima and Papa). The kids had so much FUN seeing Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald Duck and the breakfast was DELICIOUS. They brought Tison out a little cupcake to celebrate his birthday. It could not have been a better morning. Then we headed back home to greet the mother of all balloons (a 36" smiley face balloon-per Tison's request...when I was ordering balloons for the wedding he saw the smiley face balloon and said I would love that for my birthday.......and I couldn't resist....the people at Publix got a kick out of it when I had it inflated that morning) and Tison opened up more gifts. Tison and Blaine had a ball playing with his new talking, interactive Woody and Buzz Light Year Dolls. Later that afternoon we had Chicken Salad and a Dragon Cake and ice cream.

I still can't believe that my little guy is 4. He has a heart of GOLD and just to illustrate how sweet and selfless he is here is a little birthday story. For Tison's birthday Uncle Chris got him the 3 green aliens from Toy Story. The girls thought they were cute and wanted to play with them too. So Tison gave them each one to keep. Now how many kids would give their siblings or anyone for that matter part of their birthday gifts?
I am so happy he had a WONDERFUL birthday.
