Adalei

This year has started out with lots of fun for Adalei. She started preschool with a lady from our ward and totally loves it. I am grateful I was able to find a great teacher.
We have been trying to transition Ellia into a real bed. But when left to her own devices in their room, something like this happens...Adalei passed out with Ellia piling toys on top.

Then Adalei had her 4 year party! We started off with a donut for breakfast, swimming in the afternoon and a party with some friends the Crandalls for dinner. My friend has been getting into cake decorating and made Adalei a My Little Pony cake (her theme) for the party.


Opening gift..





McKay and Weston- even though it was a pretty girly party they were good sports!

Then a few days later we got our second snow of the year. I love this coat on Adie- she looks so adorable. It amazes me how much she has grown up. She loves her friends, church, preschool, animals, being outdoors and is always looking for fun or inventing it. Her imagination and memory skills have taken such a leap this last year and it's wondrful to see her investigate and play with her little sister. I can't believe 4 years ago I was bouncing a screaming baby on a yoga ball...
I love you! Happy Birthday!
