Hallie is Officially 4!!!!

On Sept 26th our little girl officially turned 4. She is so excited that she can now say she is 4. The night before Matt and I decorated her door. As we were headed up the stairs I said to Matt wouldn't it be ironic if hallie got up in the middle of the night and found she was somewhat trapped in her room? Well I jinxed us at that exact moment and about 1:30am we heard her crying. We went down and climbed through the space to talk to her she said she woke up and was scared by all the balloons floating on her floor since it was dark and couldn't see what they really were. After a few minutes of cuddles she settled back down and then asked if that meant it was her birthday I replied yes and she excitedly went back to sleep.

She love blueberries and pretty much requested everything blueberry for her birthday breakfast. So she had blue berry waffles, sausage, hashbrowns, blueberries, and sparkling apple cider with pink sprinkles. She was a happy girl.

 After breakfast she got ready and headed off to preschool. She loved that she got to take treats to share with her class. They also sang to her and she got a birthday bag with pencils, magnifying glass, and a book.

 With the lights on she was a lot happier with her decorated room and still refuses to get rid of her balloons so the girls play with them all the time

After some lunch and a rest we headed to the dentist. The girls both got to be seen this time. Gracie did great and sat on my lap while he looked at her teeth. Hallie got her teeth cleaned and painted with fluoride. Both girls got new tooth brushes, tooth paste, floss, stickers, and a coin to pick a prize. Hallie got 2 coins since it was her birthday. They both did really well and really like the dentist

 Then we ran home to meet Matt and head for our fun night with family. When we asked Hallie what she wanted to eat for dinner she immediately answered chinese but she also wanted to eat at the restaurant(we do take out chinese mostly) but then she also wanted to have cake. We were a little perplexed with finding a Chinese restaurant that did dessert. When I talked to Hallie about this she casually said, "you will figure it out mom you always do." After some thought we remembered P.F. Changs. We then asked her who she wanted to have come to dinner she wanted Grandma Sheryl and Papa, Kimi, and Nikki. Nic and Kyle were unable to be there and my parents in Vegas we were excited to have dinner at PF Changs with Kimber, Ez, and Luke. 

 Gracie loved dipping the crunchy chips in the egg drop soup

Unfortunately time ran short and we had to rush through the last part of dinner but Hallie did get her cake(blueberry cheesecake in fact) and even sung to. Then we hurried  over to the circus since we were a little late. Gracie enjoyed the trip on Matt's shoulders 

We met Grandma Joy, Chris, and Brit with her 2 oldest at the circus. Our seats were a little high up and next time I think it would be worth spending more meoney for better seats. But really we could pretty much everything and it was cool. We were all thoroughly entertained

 Poor Luke wasn't feeling 100% and finally gave up and fell asleep about 45 minutes into the show. 

 I think Hallie was most excited to see the elephants and they didn't disappoint. The laid on the ground and rolled over 

 As well as turning in a circle on 3 legs

 And standing all 4 legs on a stand

 Then it was time to head home it didn't take long before they were sound asleep. It was a busy but fun day

Being 4 years old is really exhausting! We love you Hallie and are so proud of the little girl you are and are becoming.
