Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Daniel's fourth birthday started with a surprise from Daddy.  He stayed home a little longer than normal to make Daniel pancakes.  We all sang "Happy Birthday" to him before eating!

The day was busy with preparations.  I cooked while the boys played.  Thankfully, John cooperated by taking a few good naps!  Philip, Daniel, William and I made the cake...one that Daniel picked out from one of my Barefoot Contessa cookbooks!

Then tonight we celebrated Daniel's fourth birthday with family!  Cameron, Heather, GranGran, and PopPop joined us for ribs, mac n cheese, and fresh corn.  (Dee, Susan, and Rob were all under the weather...we missed them!) 

Next...cake and ice cream...

A birthday video...and finally opening presents!

A fun day...a fun night.  Daniel is such a sweet blessing...so thankful for that little boy!
