Adley is Four!

(I’m usually a little better about getting these posts up on their birthday – oops!) November 17th, 2006 we were blessed with a sweet “not little” baby – Adley. I still remember thinking she just felt so heavy. Hee hee! You wouldn’t believe that now, of course. Adley usually has a good attitude about things, answering my questions with a happy “Sure!”. She will keep working hard on things until she gets it. She is the one who enjoys helping me around the house the most. She has a sweet spirit and is ALWAYS making me laugh. Oh, and her laugh. It is contagious!

She awoke on her birthday with Jaylyn leading her along. Down to the kitchen to open the “present” Jaylyn had for her. I like this picture. Jaylyn, so excited for Adley and Adley SO interested in what Jaylyn had for her.

Jaylyn had found some of her toys that she knew Adley would enjoy. A pink recorder, some Bendaroos and another drawing thing.

Then, in a miracle only from the Lord (Ha!), we were all dressed and ready for preschool early! So, Adley opened her presents!

Our main present to BOTH girls is a newly decorated room since it still has Jaylyn’s nursery decor in there. :-) I am currently in the midst of trying to finish that task. But, we did have a few things for her to open, AND we did let Jaylyn open something and we will let Adley do the same on Jaylyn’s birthday. Can you guess the theme?

The main reason we let Jaylyn open something is because we got them both a desk and knew that it would be complete torture for us to hear Jaylyn’s whining about not having her desk yet. :-) Once the room is finished, the desks are going up there.

Later in the afternoon, Jaylyn helped lead the way again and said we needed to do the cupcakes. Adley had requested strawberry cake and strawberry icing. I made cupcakes this time and they had the joy of decorating their own!

Oh, how many sprinkles can you fit on a cupcake? LOTS!

Make a wish!

Hooray for cupcakes and birthdays!

Don’t forget to lick all of the sticks and candles!

Then off to Incredible Pizza! (also probably suggested for Adley to pick by Jaylyn.)

Adley hit it big on the big wheel. She hit 250 tickets. Here they are still coming out! She also hit 100 free tickets when they let her spin the birthday wheel!

Ride’em cowgirl!

She decided to be silly and jump with Leighton after all that birthday fun!

While even sharing her prize from Incredible pizza – the frog around Leighton’s neck.

Here the girls are enjoying their new desks the next morning. They have certainly been enjoying those!
