4 years old!

Marcus turned 4 years old today! We threw him his big birthday party tonight. Nana couldn't make it so this is what I came up with...Toy Story theme. Yep...I made the cake and cupcakes this year. Aren't those little alien cupcakes the cutest? They were lots of fun to make.


The cake was fun too. It's not a Nana creation but I did get a lot of compliments on it.


Most important...the birthday boy approved! He was so excited!


The birthday boy never gets far from his cowgirls. The kids went to Cabela's with Grami & Poppi this morning and got these cool hats. Marcus was being Woody, Olivia was Jessie and Emma was Big Sky Barbie. They were pretty cute...if I do say so myself.


Party started around 4:30. We had lots of food and lots of friends. It was perfect!


Here's a little closeup of my cake.

And the little aliens. I found this idea online...it was so easy! I used Mint Mentos for the eyes with black gel. The antenna is Green Apple Sour Straws and the ears are cut up Spearmint Leaves. They got rave reviews from all.


Time to blow out the candles!


Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Marcus.....Happy Birthday to you!


Blow out those candles! Yay!!!


Marcus got lots of great presents.


Overall he was pretty excited and very happy the entire day. I think this birthday boy had an awesome day!


Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!! Can't believe you are already 4!
