We celebrated Hadley's fourth birthday this week. On her actual birthday, I surprised her by being the mystery guest reader in her class. She got to help me turn the pages of the book which she thought was exciting. Then I took her out to lunch and to paint at a new painting store near us. That night we went to Yo My Goodness after dinner. Yesterday she had a party with her friends in the morning and then Jim's family over in the afternoon. We will celebrate Hadley and Maribeth's birthdays next weekend with my family. She is enjoying all the celebrations and her presents! I can't believe she is 4! She told me a few times on her birthday that she couldn't believe she would be 5 on her next birthday. She also has been very excited to tell everyone we see that it is her birthday and that she is 4.
