Patrick had a happy birthday. I can't believe he is 4 years old, and I have to admit that I am a bit relieved. He has become much easier to parent during the last month.
Here he is with his birthday bounty

Aaron surprised Patrick and mom and dad by giving him a 'crystal'
(Most geologists
would identify it is a chunk of granite)

He also was given 2 games, a ball

A blue car, and red car, and his first transformer 'Jazz'
