Happy 4th Birthday Alli!!!

Alli's birthday was a smashing success!

She decided to truly enjoy being a princess and decided to sleep in  ~ I had to wake her at 8:30!

Of course, I enjoyed that as I got to wake her by singing Happy Birthday,

which she thought was pretty cool!

Eli slept in too so the girls went downstairs to make a special, birthday breakfast

4 pink pancakes, pink yogurt and pink lemonade.

The new 4 year old was quite impressed!!!

Once Eli was up, breakfast was done and everyone was dressed,

it was on to dance class where Alli had a fabulous time as the birthday girl.

She got to use a special ribbon, lead the tap line and have everyone sing to her ~ fun stuff!

After dance, she had her BFF (A is her "very best friend" as she tells us!) over to play.

Once her buddy left, she got ready for her special date with Daddy.

G decided to start a new tradition where he will take her out for lunch on her birthday.

She had the best time at the Tea Room on her date and loved looking at all the baby dolls.

She was even a trooper about not getting a doll (they are expensive ~ well over $100!)

I think she was just having a blast holding all of the dolls

though I must say my heart skipped a beat seeing those pictures ;-)

After lunch, she and Daddy went to the candy shop for some pink candy to get ready for her party.

She was way too excited to nap so she watched Cinderella and "rested" before her family party.

Doesn't exactly look like she was tired does it???
