The big day

 Sean turned 4 on Sunday, January 13, 2013. We surprised him in the morning with some balloons and fun Lightening McQueen decorations. The kids love the party blowers. Mark made an awesome McQueen cake by tracing a pattern he found online. The boys were very excited(especially Mark!)
 I bought Sean his own Book of Mormon and case. He took it to church and asked me read it to him and show him the pictures. He felt pretty cool.
 Sean finally got his own big boy bike. He has been riding Claire's pink princess tricycle and we felt like it was time for an upgrade. He is very happy and rides it in the basement any chance he gets.
 Someday the snow will melt and he will get to ride it outside. Mark is already looking forward to bike rides with his big kids.
 Grandma and Grandpa came over to help us celebrate. Sean loved every part of his birthday. Last year at this time he was struggling quite a bit. This year he was very aware that this was his special day. He loved blowing out candles and opening presents.
 Grandma and Grandpa gave Sean a musical guitar. Sean doesn't respond to music as much as the other kids. It was so exciting to see Sean light up over his guitar. He danced and "rocked out" as much as I have ever seen him do before. What a funny kid!

                                     Blowing out his #4 candle again!
 Way to go Mark! The other kids are already requesting their birthday cake designs.
It has been an awesome couple of weeks celebrating Sean. He is doing so great right now. We are so grateful that Sean is in the Giant Steps program getting the help that he needs. We have had people comment that Sean seems much happier now. 4 is going to be a great year for Sean.
