Marshall Turns 4

Marshall's cake

Things are still a tad dreary on our end. The rain seems never ending, I am on my THIRD round of antibiotics for the month-long sinus infection, and now Marshall has conjunctivitis in both eyes. Yuck. Thankfully, we got drops from the doc right away and he's getting better quickly.

We did have a lot of recent birthday fun though! On Marshall's actual b-day, we rode BART (a big hit with the little boy) to SF to have lunch with his Grammy Mary Ann. She threw a little party at her office with cake and presents too. It was a really fun outing. That night, we had dinner with the Browns, to celebrate both Marshall and Tom's b-day. To top off a great day, Chris passed a big test for work.

As in past years, the weather was less than ideal for Marshall's party over the weekend. This year, it was not only chilly but poured rain. We were all a little squished in the house but everyone seemed to have a nice time, especially the b-day boy. He loved having his friends over to play and eat cake. Weeks ago, he had requested the following on his cake: sprinkles, licorice, gummy bears, and marshmallows. He helped me make the cake and frost it but then while he napped, I added the other fun items to surprise him. His response, "WOW, this is the best cake ever." I think I have the best 4 year old ever!
