Finally...a Happy Birthday

Clark ate some of the icing off the front of the cake before I could snap a picture. :-)
 Today (10 days after his real birthday) marks the completion of Clark's fourth birthday.  It's been quite an saga of illnesses and exciting twists in this story.

  I canceled his party the first time so that we could spend time with family that surprised us with a short visit.  On that birthday, Clark got his Diego cake and his first Happy Meal thanks to Aunt Diane. :-)  We had to take Joel to the doctor during their visit for an ear infection.  And Clark woke up that Sunday morning with everyone here with a fever.

We have been plagued with illnesses ever since.  A few days later, Clark came down with an ear infection on his real birthday that landed him his first ever antibiotics!  He was miserable that week, so we didn't even tell him it was his birthday.

So today, we had a birthday play date with his good buddies.  We had lunch, cupcakes, and got to play outside together.

I'm sure we set the expectations high with extending his birthday two weeks.  Hopefully he'll forget that detail to his fourth birthday and just remember the highlights.

He requested strawberry cake and green frosting, so Mom obliged.
