Hey, Finn! Hey, Finn! It's your birthday! We gonna partay!

Fabulous Finn turned FOUR!!!!  I can't believe it.  Except yes, I can, because he seems older.  He is tall, he is soooo smart and such a daredevil!  Hence the large black cast on his arm for his 4th birthday party.  We had a big carnival party for Finn with his little friends and cousins.  It was so much fun!
Finn and Griffin Norris.
Darius & Cruz Salazar, and Jade Mohr (the neighborhood buddies), Logan (Jake's buddy, whom Finn adores), Griffin, and Jake.  Also, nice face, Jake.  
Ruby was working the ring-toss booth.


Here's Cruz trying again and again and again to bounce a ping pong ball into the jars of water.  He did eventually get it, and he was so proud!
Griffin gets his tickets ready with Finn and Owen.
Finn scores!
Carnies.
Dart balloons!
More carnies!
Fish Pong is so much harder than it looks...
Finn throwing darts with his left hand = DANGER!
Darius and Jade.
Bennett yelling, "Step right up to the rock monster!"
Fish pond!
Here, fishy fishy!
Harper and her little buddy, Lexi.
The face painters!
Tyler has some skills I was not aware of!
One ticket bought you a hot dog.  Another ticket bought you some chips.
The rock monster was the biggest hit of the party, especially when Uncle Tyler was operating it.  You put a regular old rock in the monster's mouth, and it would spit out a beautiful, shiny, polished rock for you! (He was very loud and a little scary!)


The kids were completely amazed/ scared/ enthralled by the rock monster.
Tonya and Tia.
Owen applied his own face paint.
Natalie and Cooper!
Presents!


Bennett, you missed a spot.

Tonya, Jaime and Tyler... cheers!
Cheetah boy Jack.
Linoln!
Lincoln and the spill the beans station.
Birthday lion.
Jack!
Bennett!
Harper refused to hold the mask the right way.  Which makes sense....
My, what big teeth you have, Jake!

Grrrrrrr!
Finn struck a dapper pose for this one.  Ha ha!  Love it!
Trying to get Harper in the picture...
Bennett holds Harper with his legs.  She's not having it.
SISTERS!
Finn and his good buddy, Blue.
What can you say about a kid who had 5 broken arms before the age of 4?  He's tough, that's for sure.  He is also so sweet, and so caring.  He loves and hugs and kisses and cuddles, and is SO CUTE.  I really want to freeze time with this kid.  He is growing up on me.  Love you, Finners McGinigans.
