Happy Birthday Lauren!

(Our little eskimo baby, yes those cheeks started all the way up at her temples!!)
Well another year and our little Lauren is one year older, maybe not wiser but definitely older! She turned 4 on Friday and we had a great day with her. Of course it was filled with typical Lauren drama but we had a blast! We took her to a "big girl" breakfast at a classy joint named Denny's and headed to the mall to build her very own bear! Lauren always wants to go to the Build a Bear store but it's not a normal store you just walk in and browse around, so I told her for her birthday that's what we would do instead of a party. We had a lot of fun building her bear which is named so originally Cinderella Newcomer! It was a lot of fun, not exactly cost effective for the budget but fun still the same. We had a family get together that night with our yummy homemade tamales and of course a birthday cake! She got to add to her princess collection with the newest additions Cinderella and Snow White in their very pretty and sparkly skirts! When she opened them she said, "It's just what I wanted!!"

So nothing fancy just a simple day with her and the family and we couldn't have asked for anything more! We love our little Dado so much and can't believe how much she's grown and learned in this past year. She is now in school and taking dance and loves both of those! She definitely spices up our family with her girly drama but we love her just the same. I'm sure Ryan would hope for the drama to simmer down this next year as she's on her way to 5 but I highly doubt it will!!
