holden got to have his birthday party with one of his favorite people, chase.
we let the boys pick the theme, and they chose dinosaurs.. so dinosaurs it was!
marci made a fun dino cake and cute party favors, matt carved a watermelon into a t-rex head, we organized a couple dino-themed activities (the most unsuccessful ones were courtesty of pinterest. thanks pinterest.), and the boys thought it was awesome.
i didn't do a very good job of documenting the party (i plan on stealing marci's professional grade photos one day!), but here are a couple for now.
that holden is a cutie.
he sure has his super nasty moments but, 97% of the time, he is such a sweet little guy.
he has a handsome smile that is, oh, so contagious.
i love his laugh that comes right from his gut.
holden loves to work and be helpful.
he is independent.
he is a messy eater.
he loooves gum and candy.
he could eat a whole watermelon, if we let him.
he is creative - he comes up with the cutest lego creations and draws the loveliest works of art.
holden is such a kind big brother. he never runs out of patience with tad and is always willing to share his most special things with tad.
he is actually good at sharing with everyone. one of his birthday gifts was $25 (a $5 bill and a $20 bill). when holden saw that he had 2 bills, and chet had none, he immediately gave 1 to chet. he even gave chet the bigger one! haha so matt and i fixed that real quick.
he is a supportive little brother. holden is always so happy for chet and is always up to play the games chet creates.
he is ready to play the moment he wakes up, and plays hard all day.
he touches everything when we go to the grocery store. drives. me. nuts.
he loves to be outside.
he doesn't mind getting a little dirty.
he is a total wimp with cold temperatures, like his mother!

he can be kinda cheap with his hugs, but he is a really good snuggler when he's in the mood.
he hurts himself daily hourly.
he likes to ride his bike, build lego, do crafts of any kind, bake, go for walks, learn new things, and read books.
his best friends are his brothers and his fellow little cousins (chase, molly, penny).
he will forever be the middle child in our family.
HOLDEN IS FOUR!
HOLDEN IS FOUR!
i know i say this every time our kids hit a new milestone, but i honestly can't believe he is 4.
i can remember him joining our family like it was just yesterday.
holden is a very special part of our family.
i am so happy he got to have a such fun party to celebrate his big day!
