I made some mock spaghetti & meatball cupcakes to surprise Caleb.  Don’t worry; he also got cupcakes with all the colors mixed together.  I just didn’t take a picture of the final product.

Caleb decided to forgo croquet in favor of the sprinkler for the afternoon:

We also sent Caleb on a scavenger hunt to find his present.  At the beginning, flashlight in hand.

Stop #1: He found a present inside of a cell phone box.  “A phone!”  and then shortly after, “When can I have a phone?” The present was actually a bell.

What was the present?  Caleb was very excited about getting a sprinkler for his birthday.  We had to tell him to turn around a look a little bit more.

I don’t know where four years has gone, but I am so thankful Caleb is part of my life!
