Today, we celebrated a very special four-year-olds birthday. It was the first time we have all been together as a family on Ashlyn's actual birthday. Usually I skirt the kids off to San Diego to escape Shawn's member/guest tournament every July, but alas a change in Shawn's job and a move to Pueblo meant there was no trip this year.
We had the "bestest day" (to borrow a quote from Ashlyn) and I didn't think twice about the beach or the crashing waves (ok, maybe just once!). We skipped a birthday party this year and spent the day blowing bubbles, looking for shells at Rock Canyon Swim Beach at the Pueblo Reservoir and skipping rocks.
Ashlyn made out like a bandit for her birthday - as she always does - and between new wheels, a Hello Kitty Umbrella and a new wardrobe, she is one happy camper! We are headed back to Denver tomorrow and she can't wait to have cupcakes with her friends at Annie's (her old daycare) on Tuesday. Happy birthday to our amazing little girl - we love you so much.
We opened and read every single card before diving into the presents.
Strawberry blond or blond? Hair color changes weekly!
A tad big, but she will grow into it!
We missed our standard birthday cake from Mulberry's. This one didn't compare.
