Easton turned FOUR!!

 On August 18th, Easton turned 4! It was such a fun day! And these pictures tell the story! He was so excited to finally turn four and get his own bike! A REAL bike! He woke up at 6 a.m. and got his bike! 
Daddy tightened the pedals and made it just right to ride.
Love this picture, he was so happy!
On birthdays, the person celebrating gets to eat their favorite meals. Easton had eggs and jelly toast for breakfast, nshima and beans for lunch, and fried chicken nuggets and mashed potatos for dinner! YUMMY!
The party before it began!
"MY TAKE!!!"
Diego was what he wanted! Thanks to my Mama and the Lokey Family for making sure we had all of the Diego stuff to have a fun party!
Paul and Zeria love birthday parties! But they say that the cake is "too much sweet"!
Easton got some pretty neat-o gifts. The magnifying glass has been a hit with the whole family!
15 minutes after he opened his new Thomas shirt, he had it on!
He got a new Go Fish game that have I Spy cards. He and his sisters love to play it everyday!
I love this picture! Lauren and Lily were both so excited for Easton and his fun gifts that he got! This picture captured that excitement and joy!
I can't believe that our little boy is four! It seems like just yesterday he was crawling around the floor in our house in Chipata. The craziest thing is that for all of his birthdays Zeria has been there because we have always been in Zambia. He is such a precious little boy with the sweetest heart for other people. His favorite things are: playing with his trains, trucks, and planes; going to the villages with his Daddy to teach; jumping on the trampoline with Lauren and Lily; and most of all cuddling up for a good book. We pray that one day he will ask Jesus into his heart and we pray that he will follow Him all the days of his life.
