Taylor Addison Turns 4! Part 1

Happy 4th Birthday Taylor Addison!

A couple of weeks ago Taylor celebrated her 4th birthday! She was SUPER excited about her special day and was able to tell us exactly how she wanted to spend it......

We started it of with a chocolate chip pancake cake complete with a candle. She insisted that we sing Happy Birthday to her.... Hayden loved it because it is her favorite song :)

She wanted to wear a spinning skirt and her crown in her favorite color... purple.

We took her to gymnastics wearing her new purple leotard and then out to lunch at the "chips and dip place" aka Plaza Azteca. I think Brady secretly put her up to it! It was yummy! Taylor wanted to go to Water Country so we headed out in the evening for a family trip to the park. We closed it down and headed home for cake and presents. One of our traditions is a personal cake so here is Tay with hers.. purple of course!

Taylor excited about her gifts!

After her gifts we watched Brady's tradition for the girls on their birthdays.... the slide show. It gets harder to watch every year as the gap grows from the day she was born until today. She is definitely looking more grown up these days! I asked her if she would stop growing and stay little for me. She explained that Hayden could stay little but she wanted to get bigger. She did say that she would keep giving me hugs... even when she was grown up! I need that in writing :)

We waited until the end to give her the big gift from us... a bike. She was so excited and that was exactly what we wanted to see! We were not sure if she would get the hang of pedalling and turning the handles right away but she jumped right on and took of in circles around the first floor! She went around.... and around.... and around! Grandma called and she was complaining that she couldn't talk and ride at the same time. This is what she came up with! She is just like her daddy!

We concluded her birthday with a new tradition.... an interview!

Here is Taylor at 4!
