Happy Birthday to my big Four Year Old!!

Anisten woke up this morning and I said to her "Hey there Birthday Girl!" and her face got all serious and she said "Today's my birthday?" I thought it was hilarious. She looks forward to this day all year long and would sometimes ask me everyday when her birthday would come and if it was here yet. So when it finally arrives, she has no idea. Such a funny girl.
Anisten's presents and balloons
Her first present was this Melissa and Doug DYO crown. She was super excited about it. She wanted me to help her decorate it and then she wore it most of the day. Such a cute birthday girl This was Anisten's other favorite toy besides her crown before she got to open her presents. Her Tangled balloon. She held onto that thing all day.
Here she is with her beautiful Rapunzel cake Grandma Stevenson made for her. Isn't it cute? I love it.

I wanted to do something fun for Ani on her birthday so we went to Chuck E Cheese to play some games, ride rides and win some cotton candy (Ani LOVES cotton candy)
This was by far the favorite ride. I think Aivree rode it about six times

Ani riding with Mr. Cheese himself
We went to dinner at Arctic Circle because Anisten wanted somewhere with chicken nuggets and a play area (if only Wendy's would get on that). So we went there and Aivree was a stinker (she was having a rough day), but Anisten acted the like the big girl that she is. We then came back home for presents and cake and ice cream.
Opening her Leapster and games

Her Princess play tent from Gma and Gpa Stevenson (she insisted on sleeping in it when she went to bed)
With her new Rapunzel doll from Gma and Gpa Rollins. Her hair glows when you brush it!
Ani on the new scooter we got her. What a spoiled girl!

Happy Birthday Anisten!!
We love you so much and are so happy to have you! Hope you had a fun day
