Allie's 4th Birthday!

Allie opening her package from the Yoder's.

New bath towel from the Yoders.

All ready for the day!

Can't believe she's 4!! :-(

Lunch at McDonald's. I had wanted to do a picnic lunch at the park, but it was a very cold and wet day. So the next best thing was Chicken nuggets, fries with ranch and chocolate milk from McDonald's! :)

"Can you see me?"

This was a VERY big slide, but Adam has no fear and climbed to the top with the help of big sister.

Heading home after picking up the b-day cake. Not sure why Allie has a shovel, or why she wanted it in this picture. Crazy kid!

It was a cold wet day, perfect for a nap!

"We played a little too hard at McDoanld's! :)

Gifts!

Dinner
The princess cake

Some of the neighborhood gang. L to R: Florence, Allie, Julien, Liz, Julia, Jena and Adam. Allie's new friends. Florence and Julien are from Quebec, Canada and Julia is from Austria. Jena (a Pennsylvania local :-) ) sang happy birthday to Allie in Polish. So we tried to get Florence and Julien to sing in French and Julia to sing in German, but they were too shy! :)

Liz played happy birthday for Allie on her trumpet!

"I love cake!"

Allie: "no more pictures, mom!"

I just LOVE this one of Adam! Look at that sweet little face! My little prince!

"Love you dad!"

Daddy and the birthday girl!

Such hams!

To all my sisters and friends: A picture of my hair!! Not the best, but hey, at least I tried! :)

Adam catching the evening news with daddy!

Goodnight kisses for me! :)

Goodnight birthday girl, sweet dreams! :)

We're going to the Pittsburgh Zoo tomorrow with Daddy. Since Allie's birthday fell in the middle of the week, we thought we would do something fun on the weekend with Chris. So check back soon for Zoo pics! Have a great weekend everyone!

Lipstick, family and riding bikes!

Never leave your kids alone with any kind of makeup. I was painting the house last week when I found these two little stinkers painting my shower with three tubes of lipstick. I wasn't too upset since it was in the shower, but, wow, how do they manage to make such a mess in just a few short minutes??

Mom, Liz, Maddax, Josh and Lindsey came out last week for a short visit. It's always nice having company - I'm glad we live close enough now for family to visit more often!

Sarris' chocolate factory.

Yum, Chocolate!!!

What a sweetie.... sleeping while he was sitting up! :)

Allie, mom, Josh, Lindsey and Adam. Thanks for coming to visit guys! Please come again soon!

Taking the training wheels off Allie's bike.

"We got them off!!!" :)

Here we go!!!!!

Allie was doing great, but she was a little too worried about posing for the camera! :) Much to her daddy's dismay! :)

"Can you see me?"

Adam's turn!

The kids enjoying "daddy's" chips! We can't get Middleswarth around here, even though they are made in Pennsylvania. So every time we go home, or in this case, when we had family come out, we get chips! :0 Thanks, mom!

More bike riding.
