Esan turns 4!!

Esan Ray had his fourth birthday on Friday.  He got up and went to school and then Friday evening we had his birthday party.  The Reeses and Binkleys were here along with a few of our neighbors.  Birthdays are always fun but a little bit sad, too because they make us miss our families a little bit more than usual.  But, we did get to see some of them on the computer and that is always good.  Here are a few pics of Esan when he woke up.  He asked for a Star Wars party so all the Star Wars action figures greeted him when he came downstairs.  Here is the link to the Star Wars Birthday invitation Tonya and I made for him in case you didn’t get to see it.

Tonya made Esan birthday pancakes with a number “4″ made out of chocolate chips!!

Here is Esan Ray ready for school on his birthday. He wanted me to take him to school on the motorcycle.  This is the uniform he wears on Fridays.

    Happy Birthday Esan! That looks like one fantastic party. I think Tonya’s in the running for mom of the year (extra points for the pinata and masks). Your family is constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

    The force is definitely with you! What an amazing birthday party. Esan, you have incredibly dedicated parents who must love you so much to go to such lengths. The “family photo” will be a must see in years to come on your special day, Esan. Perhaps a good Xmas card picture? Poor old R2d2 didn’t look too happy there! Loved the youtube video. Technology! (giggled a little at the ads,hehe) Love you guys so much and am so proud of you all. May our force be with you.
