And, that night Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie brought over some cupcakes. Mmmmm.
Then, on Saturday we had lots of family and friends over to celebrate. We played games . . . like Cow Bowling (Olivia demonstrated for us)
and impromptu Duck, Duck, Goose (thanks, Ms. Mechelle!!).
And, some free play time, as well. :) Here, Will bangs on the toolbench:
And, of course there was cake! We even had the Ariel cake Ashley had been talking about since we went to pick up her 3rd Bday cake a year ago. Emma & John Paul eye the best part of the party:
Grandpa and Pop think we aren't looking as they give Vinny extra cupcake and ice cream.
Alayna says, "Cheese!"
Good buddies Jacob & John Paul:
But, the best part was when Nathan snuck outside while no one was looking and finished up someone else's plate! He kept the spoon in one hand and shoveled soupy ice cream up with the other. It was so cute!
And, of course, I tried to get a group photo. I decided not to torture the grown-ups as well, so we tried for just a kids shot. This is the best one. If anyone got a better one, can you email it to me? :)
Thank you to everyone for celebrating with Ashley!
Happy Birthday, 4 year old! We can't believe how much you've grown!
PS -- I almost cried when I had to change the lilypie.com ticker to the 5th birthday one!
