A birthday wouldn't be complete without a few donuts for breakfast!

And of course we have to take HUGE-MONGO bites when we eat donuts! Must be a BOY thing!

Riley wanted in on the donut action too and grabbed mommy's scone off the table!

Just wanna EAT.HIM.UP!!!!

Happy birthday sweet Reid!  We love you more than you will ever know buddy!  We can't wait to keep the celebration going today at Chuck E. Cheese.  And of course you have a big BIRTHDAY party coming up this weekend!   Four years ago today you came into our lives and blessed us more than we could ever begin to imagine.  We were enamored with how perfectly formed you were and it was truly the most exciting day of our lives seeing you for the very first time.  I loved holding you as a baby, and now you are all big & growing more everyday!  You were a perfect baby and now you are a funny, silly, musical, soccer playing, t-ball practicing, toddler boy.   You love everything musical and we can't wait to see what you'll grow up to be one day....maybe the next symphony conductor at the DSO? Or maybe the next Brad Paisley?  Who knows?  You talk about being a doctor like Daddy, and you're always getting your doctor bag out to try & make us feel better.  Whatever you become we will proud of you! 

You are a great big brother and are learning to share your toys with your brother!  He adores you & wants to do everything you do.  Watch out buddy!  :)  We are so proud of you & the boy you have become so far.  We can't wait to watch you grow & learn even more.  

Yesterday, you were talking about being 7, 8, 9 and even 10.  Oh NO!  Mommy is not ready for that!!!  Can you stay 4 forever??  I just want to bottle up your little, adorable voice and sweet spirit and keep you that way forever.  You have such an innocence about you that is precious.  The world has not tainted you yet.  I never want that to go away, but I know some day it will.  Mommy & Daddy are so thankful for you, Reid!  You light up our lives and make us proud to have you as our son.  

Happy 4th Birthday to you, Buddy!  We LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
