Alli turned four this weekend. We celebrated with breakfast next-door at Toast. Always delicious. That is where Alli wanted to go. She had a huge stack of pancakes which she and Ruby ate for breakfast... and lunch.
Alli opened presents after breakfast. There is nothing quite as exciting as a kid opening presents. The anticipation and paper-ripping and pulling presents out of boxes with shear delight is just fun to witness. Everything was perfect and just what she had always wanted. She got a book, a CD player, a CD, a harmonica, guitar picks, a guitar strap, and some cute clothes and accessories.
Alli wore a princess dress all day. She wore accessories too: a veil, sparkly headband, striped tights, necklace, bracelets... she was dressed to the nines.
We wanted to take her to Rainforest Cafe for dinner. As we were driving up she said, "Eh, I don't really want to go there." The restaurant she did want to go to was closed. So we settled with Ed Debevick's. Alli enjoyed dinner. (To me, Ed Debevick's can be summed up like this: white bread, Hershey's syrup and Velveta. Not my favorite place to eat.) They brought her a tiny ice cream sundae with a candle for her birthday, and she got to keep the miniature sundae glass. She was delighted.
Happy Birthday Allison! It has been four fun, exciting years with this amazing girl. We are lucky!
