The boys’ had a Spirit Week earlier this month. Monday was Crazy Hair/Hat day, but we all forgot about it and Adam had a field trip that day anyway.

Tuesday was Career Day. Adam dressed like a baseball player and Luke was a teacher. Luke has the purest motives for wanting to enter the field of education. He says that he wants to be a teacher because “then whenever it’s someone’s birthday, they bring you cookies and cupcakes.”

Wednesday was Decade Day. They just wore jeans and tie-dye and we called it good.

Thursday was Sports Day. Adam is wearing a football hat and a soccer t-shirt with a basketball jersey on top.

Friday was School Spirit Day, so they both wore shirts with their school’s name and logo on them. Adam found a four-leaf-clover at the bus stop that morning.

An added benefit of having family in town for Adam’s First Communion meant that we were all able to celebrate Maggie’s birthday together the night before.

Maggie requested a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party.

So that’s what she got.

Maggie had a special strawberry dress to wear for her party and was thrilled when she found a strawberry outfit for Lydia to wear at the store too.

Lydia was slightly less impressed.

Maggie is one very loved little four year old.

She has the best reactions when opening cards and gifts too. She loved everything.

I’d have to say her favorite though, was the waitress costume from Aunt Amanda and Uncle Steve.

Thanks to everyone that helped make her birthday such a special one for her!
