Caleb's 4th B'day

Caleb showing how old he is.

Sunday was Caleb's 4th birthday. Wow! Time really flies if the baby of the family is already 4. We celebrated with taking him to the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg, TN. He had never been. Ripley's has a new Sharks exhibit that opened last week. They have been advertising on billboards since the fall through out Knoxville. There's a billboard near the house that Caleb has seen for months. Every time he sees them, he asks to go there.

When I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday, he replied "Aaak-kar-eeeeuumm." So we did. He got to choose the menu of the day. He got cinnamon rolls for breakfast, lunch at McDonald's and dinner at Cracker Barrel. Just typing that out today makes me think we need to do a fruit and vegetable cleanse diet this week. :)

Caleb had a memorable birthday. He did exactly what he wanted to do. He got phone calls from his grandmothers on Sunday which he loved. He opened presents from his family and Aunt Amy and Uncle Michael. He got to go to the store and pick out new presents from Jason and me. Lastly, he finally got to see those sharks!
