Happy 4th Birthday Jude Harper!

Happy 4th Birthday Jude.  We love you so much and honestly can not believe you are already 4 years old.  You are quiet and shy at first but quick to warm up and show your true colors. You are sensitive and considerate, love your gmas and papas, and friends from school, crystal's house, and the neighborhood.  You wanted a superhero birthday party with an Avengers cake and superhero capes for your friends.  We celebrated with outside games at the superhero party with a parachute, stomp rocket, obstacle course, etc., and although mom and dad thought it was crazy and wondered what we were thinking, you LOVED every minute and it made it so worth it.  You have such fun friends and it was a wonderful day for a party.  The day after your party we opened up the gifts from your cousins in our PJs and had monkey bread for breakfast to celebrate.  We love you Jude Harper!!

Trick or Treating at Gma and Gpa Gee's house.

Jude was excited to trick or treat for Halloween this year and wanted to dress up as Captain America.  Being the awesome mom that I am - I didn't even know who Captain America was and had to Google it!  Man, I am behind the times.  Far to much candy, but good times had by all.
