Happy Birthday, Ari...

I don't think she's happy about this day... do you?

You do?

Oh, maybe the smile gave it away?

You know...

The smile that wrinkles up the entire face and wiggles its way into all of the fingers and toes... and makes it hard to wait... all the way through dinner for presents and cake!

How old are you today Ari?

Ari's answer... "Thwee"

One of Ari's sisters gave her some coloring books...

... and hasn't learned yet to take off the price tag... lol.....

Our kids look forward to Grandma and Bampa's present like no other! 

Ari opened her card and immediately went for the money... which Daddy immediately confiscated and secretly gave to Mommy to hold.

Daddy tried to read the card to Ari...

... but Ari decided she had better things to do with her time...

like open the present!

What?

There are cupcakes in the house?!

Where!

Chow down!

Yummy... German Chocolate!

The great thing was that even though Cadi lives in another state now...

she was able to be a part of it through Skype.

We love that thing.

Happy Birthday, Ari!

You are such a blessing!
