Someone had a birthday last month - JT

Last month, little JT turned 4!

He's big into teddy bears, so he had a teddy bear cake, decorations, and a teddy or two in his gifts.

We spent a little less on gifts this time around so we could do some more activities. He really wanted to ride the horse at WalMart, play on the Nintendo Switch at GameStop, and do a handful of other, store-related activities. We went to the beach at Granbury where he opened up a few beach presents. And of course, many games were played.

A couple weeks ago we finished the celebration. We drove out to Fort Worth - watching movies in the car all the way - where we went (Mario) Go Karting. (That's one reason this post is so late.) Unfortunately, JT decided it was too fast and was just a little too scary for my adventurous 4-yr old. So the rest of us went around the track enough times for me to feel sick to my stomach and a good time was had by n-1 people.

At Cici's pizza, we played arcade games and I helped him win a few games of air hockey.

He was so eager to play Mario games on the Wii U that it was hard to convince him to go with us to the beach. Joy had to convince him that we could do both.

He got a lot of books, and paused opening presents every time he got a book to read it a bit.
