Four years ago today, at 1:04pm, Ashlyn Grace entered this world, and I held her in my arms for the first time. She was beautiful; she was perfect. She's still beautiful, and she's still perfect.
On Saturday we began her birthday celebration with a birthday party with some of her friends and family. She had a great time playing with her friends and blowing out the candles on her Hello Kitty birthday cake that her Aunt Megan was kind enough to make for her. Today we celebrated by going to McDonald's for lunch and letting her play in the play place for a while. We don't do this very often, so this was a special treat for her. This afternoon she had another birthday party with family members that couldn't make it to the party on Saturday. She requested that we have "birthday soup" so that's what we had for dinner at her party (and some hotdogs to go along with it...she ate the hotdog and only tasted the soup). We had icecream cake and she again got to blow out her candle (this was a bit of a novelty considering that the past two years her birthdays were spent at the hospital with Lynnea and we weren't allowed to light candles in the family room for her). She had a lot of fun. She received many gifts, including a cowgirl outfit (various pieces given by different people...I'm impressed at how coordinated it is) that looks adorable on her. Here are some pictures from her parties, and her in her cowgirl outfit.
