last weekend our first baby turned 4! somehow the lucky little lady ended up with 3 separate celebrations.

first, we had some friends join us at the bounce house down the street.

then we had a few family and close friends over for some ice cream.

and finally, she went on a special birthday date with just mommy and daddy. this year she wanted to go to dinner at red robin and listen to justin ‘beaver’ in the car REALLY loud. done and done.

i was so proud that our shy girl agreed to let the waiters sing happy birthday. it could have had a little something to do with the ice cream that came with it…

i loved our special date with the birthday girl, and i know she did too. she was so excited to have our undivided attention she hardly stopped talking the entire night. i tried to ask her a couple serious questions, about life and whatnot, but she mostly wanted to talk about whether or not four year olds still have to take naps.

of course they do.

more on our 4 year old coming soon.

also, there are more birthday photos in the album
