On January 12 Lucas turned 4! The older he gets the more important these occassions become for him so we tried to make it extra special.
In the morning he got to put on his birthday crown and enjoy a pancake breakfast. In the afternoon his Dad came home early and his godparents Christina and Ralf came over for dinner. It was pretty exciting having everyone over. The highlight was a home for his Playmobil knights and of course some new accessories too. Lucas' birthday cake was a little untraditional, but since we had two cakes to look forward to in the coming days we thought, why not spoil him with his favorite treat! So donuts it was!
Lucas' "official" party took place on Saturday. We hosted 6 of his friends at our house for an afternoon of fun and games. It went surprisingly well and thanks to the warm spring-like weather the kids were able to get rid of a lot of energy outside :) Ralph and I need to work on our planning skills though; somehow we managed to forget to do half the things we wanted to with the kids. But I don't think they noticed and all had a great time.
Another year has flown by and Lucas has changed and grown so much. He is slowly becoming independant, is becoming quite the artist and is a very creative storyteller. We're looking forward to the upcoming year and all the changes it will bring and all of the great new memories.
