Elena had her 4th birthday on Saturday. She has been so excited for it to come. Scott went to help a friend bring an elk off the mountain on Saturday morning so Elena had to wait for him to come home before she could open presents. I am glad he got home shortly after lunch so I didn't have to listen to the girls anticipation any longer. She got a movie, a Fancy Nancy puzzle, Barbie fishing rod (her father was very proud of her for properly calling it a fishing rod), book and money. The puzzle has glitter on it (those of you who know Scott know he HATES glitter, but he was kind enough to help put the puzzle together with us yesterday. He must love his girls! We went to Pizza Hut in Richfield on Friday night for her birthday dinner. She picked a chocolate cake and I convinced her to go with chocolate frosting (she wanted pink frosting, but her chocolate loving mother didn't think that sounded as good) with pink sprinkles.
Allie lost her 2nd tooth on Sunday and was very excited about it. She had been hoping it would come out before her class pictures last week, but oh well.
Eddie discovered his voice on Sunday. He was making a screeching sound that I think he must recognize as a familiar sound that he hears from his sisters. He kept making the screeching sound over and over. At least when he does it he is still happy. Usually when his sisters do it, they are not happy with something (dinner, bedtime, pretty much anything for Elena). The sweater he is wearing in the picture was made my former boss's (Karie) mom. Karie gave it to me when Allie was born. She picked the one with the blue bunnies even though Allie was a girl, now I am glad because I think Eddie looks so cute in it and I don't think pink would work.
