The celebration began on Friday. Mike took the day off and we let Dominick choose what he wanted to do, so he picked Monkey Joe's for play and Sweet Tomatoes for lunch. We went to Monkey Joe's last year on Dom's birthday, too. The choices for activities are so limited in winter. I'm jealous of kids with spring and summer birthdays. But I digress. Noel was a little scared of the size of the inflatable equipment and general noise level of Monkey Joe's, but Dom had a blast.
We had a party for him on Saturday, his actual birthday. The theme was signs and cones. Cones lined the sidewalk, and road signs--a Christmas gift from my parents--were placed throughout the house. I made the cake per Dom's request: it featured a hole in a road with a pile of dirt surrounded by orange traffic cones. Fondant road signs decorated the cupcakes. We had a make-your-own-sign station for the kids.
Everything went really well, but I am happy for the return to normalcy after the party and all the preparation it required. Here are some photos from the weekend:

Hey Kelly, now you should change your Windows Messenger quote: "Happy 4th Birthday, Dominick!"
I have Windows Live Messenger on this computer, which must be a different beast because it doesn't have that quote. I'm sure we were using a different computer a year ago. Ours always die on us. RIP laptop!
