Happy Birthday, Grayson Quinn!
Today we are celebrating you and another memorable year.
This year we celebrated with a Blast Off theme🚀👨🏼🚀
{A throw back to Halloween 2020} 
A few things to note about Grayson’s 4th–
Cake
In typical birthday fashion, Grayson chose his cake–he practically designed it! When I asked him what he wanted he got wide-eyed and listed off colors, what he wanted it to say etc. He even sketched it up, so fun💙
Dinner Menu
Crab Legs were requested and “lots of them,” he said! “Like 30 legs, no 19 would be good.” 🦀😂
Celebrating
I think Grayson has been counting down to his birthday since January– after celebrating Grant & Gentry! “Hey Alexa, how many days until March 5th?” he would ask every other day!
Birthday week fun looked a little like this:
Lunch Dates 
A Bakery Treat🍪 
A late Valentine’s Day gift from Grandpa & Grandma was perfect for his birthday week 🎉 
Opening early bday gifts from Grandpa & Susie❤️
Birthday Eve was celebrated with an afternoon in Grand Rapids.
Lunch here was entertaining! 
How it started 
How it ended! 
Grayson laughed most of the time, saying this is a fun lunch–aka Gents throwing food everywhere!
First time venturing out to lunch with both✔️

Thanks for taking time to celebrate with Grayson Quinn!
Year four was quite an adventure for Grayson Quinn! Quarantined for most of it, he managed to delight in a lot of time at home! He has a wide variety of interests and the joke around here is, “Are you 3 or 30? ” While he proceeds to respond, “40!” 😂 This sums him up pretty well! He is witty and can be an old soul at times but not afraid to be every bit of 4!
{A couple of weeks ago, Grayson and Gentry were watching a dog play fetch out the window and Grayson was commentating everything the dog was doing! I asked him if he would want to get a dog. He paused. I said maybe a smaller one? He said, yes, a small one. One that doesn’t move.😂 Like the one I cuddle with at night! #stillthree}
He learned how to count to infinity and beyond 🚀, write, started to read, add, subtract, memorize anything he sets his mind to, and played his second soccer season. Despite COVID he gained a few airline miles for a whole 2 flights in year four and brought his total to 62 flights-to-date✈️

Grayson Quinn! It’s a pleasure being your “ole daddy!” It’s hard to believe you’ve been a central part of our lives for 4 years now, but has been an amazing 4 years! I love watching you light up a room with your smile, a witty joke, and occasionally a tantrum. May you continue to learn and grow, and most importantly–draw near to Jesus Christ for in Him all meaning, life and joy is found! Adventure on!
