Birthday Finale

Alli had a great 4th birthday. We finished off the day with Auntie Nora and Uncle Adam coming up. We took pizza to the park for dinner and played until it was dark.
We had a Funfetti Birthday cake, decorated by me (don't be jealous of my decorating skills!)
Alli opened her presents. Now that she is in the dinosaur class, Auntie Nora made her two dinosaur shirts to wear to preschool!
This present is so funny because every time we go to the grocery store Allison begs me to buy her Milano cookies. Of course, I always say no! We have never had these cookies in our house but she must have had them somewhere because she ask for them every time. But being such the nice mom that I am I got them for her birthday and I think you can tell they were just about her favorite gift!
Talking on the phone with her new jammies from Grandma Graham.
Playing one of her new games way past her bedtime. She just about had a meltdown when Uncle Adam almost won. The adults were good sports to let the tired birthday girl win!
Sound asleep at four years old!
One funny side note...We had been doing a countdown to her birthday starting at the beginning of the month. This morning when she woke up she said to me, "Mom, can we start marking off on the calendar until I'm five!"

Aw, I wish I could have been there. I love the milano picture. Looks like you captured the perfect moment. I also love that even when she's sleeping you can tell how crazy she is because she is sleeping in bed the wrong way.

Great pics!! It looks like Allison had a great 4th birthday. We still do birthday countdowns during our b-day months at my moms house. My sister Patty complains every year because her b-day is May 4. She tries to convice us to start her countdown on April 5 every single year.
Adam, I will only let it slide this time, since it was Alli's birthday, that you let somebody else win in a game. When is the next Danni/Koch challenge---it's on baby!!!
