Jaron's 4th Birthday

Jaron turned 4 years old on March 15th! The week of Jaron's birthday, the kids and I decided to spend the week in NY at my parent's house, mostly for change of scenery for all of us. My mom was heading up from VA from visitng her parent's, Mom-mom and Pop-pop, so she stopped in at our house on the way through. We drove up together in my car on Tuesday, the 15th (J's b-day) and stayed until Sunday afternoon. Jeremy then joined us on Friday night for the weekend (since he had to work during the week), driving Mom’s car that she left at our house. We made last minute plans to celebrate Jaron’s birthday for the evening before we left for NY. It all came together quite nicely. Jeremy’s parent’s called long before we had plans for a party and asked if they could stop in on the 14th on their way home from the airport to wish Jaron a happy birthday. We figured since my mom would also be here (driving up from VA) and my dad was planning to come down that weekend anyway to visit my Great Aunt Eleanor (who is ill), we would plan a little party for our soon-to-be 4 year old boy the night before we headed up for NY for a week. My sister Tiffany also made the trip from Harrisburg with her baby Annabelle, my Aunt Janet came, a couple that we know from church came, and of course the Simrak’s came (my sister Geniene and her family). Even with 17 people packed into our tiny house, we wished our other family could have been there to celebrate with us at the same time. All in all, it was a great party and Jaron had a blast! Here are pictures to prove it!
First, I want add how much this little 4 year old boy has meant to Jeremy and I. He's so curious about life and soaks up information we never expect him to get. We love you so much, Jaron!


Jaron asked specifically for me to make him a turtle cake. His favorite color is green and being so close to St. Patrick's day, I thought it was an appropriate request.

Love that last pic of us girls! I'm so upset Angela couldn't be there with us!! It would have been a perfect picture to frame. We'll just have to get another one soon with ALL of us.
