It's hard to believe, but Ashlyn is now 4 years old! She is old enough to realize that her birthday was coming and she was looking forward to it for a long time. Once we got the Valentine's Day decorations out she started getting excited because she knew her birthday was before Valentine's Day.
She started the day off with breakfast in bed, waffles made with the Princess waffle maker. She followed breakfast up with present opening. Savannah had a lot of fun ordering and wrapping Ashlyn's presents this year. She is off track from school so she took great pleasure in preparing Ashlyn's birthday. I was grateful for the help and enjoyed watching her get so excited for Ashlyn's birthday.
Later that day, I drove down to pick up Brigham and Peter, Ashlyn's cousins. Ashlyn loves playing with them and wanted to share her birthday with her cousins. I know the picture down't look like they are happy, but they had a great time together (the picture was at the end of a six hour playdate and Brigs was ready for cake!)
Savannah also helped design and make the cake. Ashlyn was upset at first that the entire cake wasn't pink (emotions that also stemmed from a long day) but she came around and was very excited. Grandma and Grandpa Anderson came over, along with Brigs family, to help sing "Happy Birthday" and celebrate with her!
