Ashlee turns 4!!

Yesterday was Ashlee's birthday, and she was so excited to turn 4!

She ran and jumped in our room in the morning and announced "It's my birthday!"

She said, "I feel older."

She opened her presents before breakfast.  She had no idea what was in the big present and wanted to open it last.

 Surprise, it was a new bike!  She was a lucky girl to get so many presents, and she loved them all!

 This girl is HARD to take pictures of.  She makes funny faces, looks away, and/or closes her eyes.
But here are a few better ones.
She loved her new umbrella from G and G Bishop, and she loved her new skirt that she got to wear on her special day.

 She got to have a birthday party this year, her first ever.
We had it at the splash park and some friends and their families.  The kids played, we served lunch and cupcakes and that was pretty much that.  It was a fun time.

 So there were lots of people, but it was so fun, and everyone watched their own kids!

 Dad put her bike together and we went on a bike ride.

 She wanted an Ariel cake, so that's what we delivered.
She wanted it to look like water with Eric and Ariel at the top, so I tried my best and she liked it.
(I really think she wanted it to look just like the Ariel ride at Disneyland)

While we ate cake I asked her what was her best thing of the day (she says her best thing instead of her favorite thing), she said she liked everything!

Ashlee loves

• orange, red and pink

Happy Birthday Ashlee!  We sure love you and are glad you are in our family.  You make us laugh and laugh each and every day.
