Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea!!

It's hard to believe that our little Love Bug turned FOUR today!! She has been looking foward to her birthday ever since she started seeing her classmates have their turn at the birthday thaaang! We've also been working on "how old are you now?" and "how old will you be soon?" She is so excited to tell people that she's four now! We celebrated with a birthday party at school with her classmates, complete with a crown :)

In the evening, we went to Applebee's for dinner, a rousing version of "happy birthday" courtesy of the waitstaff, and a hot fudge sundae!

When we arrived home, Grandpa Les and Grandma Pam came over and gave her a birthday gift -- a big girl bike! No more tricycle for Maelin! She was soooo excited about the bike...she rode it around and around the house until bed time!

We'll have her family birthday party on Saturday with both families. She's looking forward to "many people come my house" :)

Good times, good times.
