After much anticipation and excitement, Miss Allie Rae is officially a 4 year-old. And oh my is it ever wonderful to be 4. On the morning of her birthday she looked up at me sort of perplexed and, with such wonder that it made me giggle, said, "Am I 4 today? Am I really 4?" It was as though she had been bestowed with some mystical super power.
Allie LOVED her day. She actually ended up going to a birthday party of a little primary friend who had turned 4 just the day before. But, she seemed perfectly fine with it and had a ball. They had rented a large inflatable slide that they hooked up to a hose so it was a giant water slide. Needless to say, the kids were in heaven. Kenna was MORE than relieved to find out after the party was over she could come and slide on it for a bit too. Let's just say Kenna had a bit of a hard day letting Allie have all the limelight. Really hard. Apparently my prima donna doesn't like to share the spotlight. It was good for her to let her sister shine for the day. Now we frequently hear her ask how long it is until her birthday.
Allie decided that for her birthday she wanted to go swimming as a family at the aquatic center. We ended up having a really good time. Even Ty loved swimming. We grabbed a hamburger on the way home, then got home just in time to get on jammies, have a quick piece of cake, open gifts then get to bed.
Here is her cake. We decided to make a rainbow cake. Eh, it works. She's still young and easy to impress. Which is really beneficial for her mother who is just not cake decorating savvy.
And of course the presents. Take note of Kenna who is trying her darndest not to rip in and open them all herself.
She got a snuggie blanket just like her sister did on her last birthday. It was a perfect choice, she loved it. Really, life is just not complete if you can't snuggle up to a fleecey delight of Tinkerbell every night.
Happy Birthday to ME!
Time to make a wish and blow out the candles- I think it may have ended up being Kenna who actually blew them out. Once again, she struggled with the whole not-her-day thing.
Happy Happy Birthday to our Allie Gal! Our family is so blessed to have the sweetest little 4 year-old in our home.
