It's pretty hard to catch me sitting still, but on occasion, someone (like Grandma) can take a picture of me like this one.

You can see that every one is surprised that I'm still because they're all watching me.

Today is October 14, 2008. It is my 4th Birthday and as you can see, the gifts are piling up on the kitchen counter.

Mom is setting my cake on the table.

To the right, my Dad is handing my little sister Alyssa to my Mom. My Auntie Char is holding my cousin Baby Doug. Brother Louis is sitting at the table. As you can tell, we're setting up right on schedule. By the way, it's my Dad's birthday too, but until I get a little older, I won't be sharing this day with anyone. Besides, I am the best gift he's ever had.

Now we're all together. Grandma is taking pictures and Mom is busy getting this event together. I'm preparing myself to blow out all the candles. This is one of the best parts of having a birthday. From left to right: Louis (at the table), Cousin Sophie, Auntie Char and Baby Doug, Cousin Christian, My Dad, Me, and Sister Alyssa.

I'm blowing out the candles now. I am now officially four years old. As you can see, my little sister is helping me. What would I do without her?

Okay, now we're in the business of opening presents. This is where birthdays come in really handy. I get everything I want on this day.

Christian and Sophia are watching me and I'm enjoying myself a lot.

My Dad is quietly sitting in his chair opening his own presents.

All in all, this has been a pretty good day. I am a little tired though.

Meanwhile, my older brother Louis and Uncle Doug are enjoying some of my gifts...

As is my little sister Alyssa.

Here I am in 2007. I love riding my trike, but someone is in my way!
