3.24.14

The frog woke up to a special treat of donuts from grandpa. 
We do candles as many times as we can around here. One year, we relit the candles on Addie's pancakes so many times, that she finally got so excited that she accidentally burned herself. Poor baby!
Sistahs!
Alecia hosted a fun birthday lunch for Christina that I took no pictures of. Except this cute one with grandpa and his flock. They even went to him after they broke something. There's just something very approachable and special about grandpas. (:
Frankie's dinner of choice was chicfila, two years running! "Take a picture of me, mommy." We ran into the callihans and (separately) the missionaries there. It's a happening place!
After dinner we had our FHE/bingo fun. The little kids table. Delaney was into it for about a minute and a half before she threw her card and left. She's so two. 
The big kids table. Christian is wearing a dinosaur hat, fyi. 
And the mc's prizes. (:
Love him!
I just got started taking everyone's pictures after they got a bingo and claimed their prize. And I've got to use all the pics, right?!
Then it was dinosaur cake time! She'd talked about several different themes for her party, but finally settled on dinosaurs. I thought it was a little odd and tried to talk her into something else, Frozen, Mr Peabody (which also would have been a little odd), princesses, but she stuck to her dinosaur theme. Dino's it is!
She also requested all blue candles. Whatever makes the birthday girl happy!
Addie standing by to help. Always at the ready!
She got one toy from us, one from grandpa, and two from her siblings. When you have a party that's the way we roll. 
Then Laura gave her this awesome, HANDMADE, triceratops - which happens to be her favorite dinosaur. 
She named her Abby, and Abby has quickly become an old favorite. 
T'was a good 4th birthday. (:
