Lauren's Birthday





Lauren turned four on May 7th. It is hard to believe our little girl is so grown up. She has an amazing personality and surprises us everyday with the things she says and does. She definitely keeps us on our toes. She had a very special birthday. We went to Highland Park and played in the morning. She got to go to lunch with her Dad and chose Old MacDonald's (aka McDonalds). Her Dad gave her a special Sleeping Beauty barbie that she loved. That afternoon she received a special balloon boquet from Mimi and Poppy. She was so happy. We had a special dinner for her and then watched her video of when she was born. She loved doing that. Each of us took a turn to tell Lauren what we loved about her. Then she got her very special gift....a big girl bike! Grandpa had found it for us a month before and we had it in hiding. We added some training wheels, a basket and a cute horn. She loves it and was not scared to ride it at all. Dad made a butterfly cake that she picked out so we got to sing to her and eat cake and ice cream. Tonight we continued the celebration and went to Jumpin Jacks as a family. That was Lauren's request. Dad had never been before. We had a really fun time. We love having Lauren in our family. She is a great helper, smart, loving and a beautiful girl. She loves Landon and Avery so much and is very protective of them. We LOVE her!
