Happy Birthday, Alicyn!

It's official, she has moved on to 4 despite Justyn and I telling her to stop growing.  This morning we had a special peach oatmeal birthday breakfast.  She wore a left over party hat (from someone else's party) all day and was a little over protective of her balloon.  According to Ali, her highlight was eating cake.  She decided to forgo the Pooh Bear or Princess cake and decided a Pony cake would fit her best.  It was super simple to make - just added the Pony to the top and called it good.  We were all anxious for daddy to come home so we could cut into it.  Naturally, Gracyn was excited about cake as well.  We hit the park - Alicyn rode her bike - because she is 4 now and getting soooo big.  For dinner, her special request was mac n cheese, which I made homemade to make it special.  She told me - as only a young child can get away with - I like the other kind better.:)  We also had a chance to eat outside, so that was a birthday highlight.  Our lil' ladies love the outdoors.  While looking out at the water, Alicyn said, "Dad, do you see that?  I think I see a whale out there."  :)  We finished the night with a few gifts and a precious bag of cotton candy. Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Too Small and Too Cute

So I got home from work yesterday, and we're all getting ready to go play at the park for awhile. It's about 60 degrees and Alicyn grabs her winter jacket to wear. I tell her I think it's too warm for that jacket. She says she wants to wear it and thinks it's kind of cold out. I get her spring jacket out and say, "I'd wear this one because it's pretty warm out.". She looks at the jacket and says, "that one is too small.". Rae and I give each other a confused look because she wore the spring jacket last week. Then Alicyn says in all seriousness, "Daddy, that jacket is too small for you."
Too cute!!!
