Abe left for a military training almost three weeks ago and was not able to be here for Adeline's birthday on Wednesday. Even though we celebrated before Abe left, Adeline KNEW what day her birthday was and was counting down the days. I saved one present for her to open and then she also had some cards and another present from the grandparents to open. For lunch time we had a friend come and meet us for lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. Adeline LOVES visiting the restaurant when we are at the mall just so she can see all the animals. We had only been there one other time since it is not very reasonably priced. Norah was terrified of a gorilla that was sitting behind us and refused to sit in her high chair and had a death grip around my neck the entire time. Camdyn, my friend's little girl was even more terrified and hid her head between her arms on the table almost the entire time. Callie & Adeline thoroughly enjoyed it though. I bought a little kids dessert so they would sing happy birthday to Adeline. Kind of bugged me because they wouldn't sing happy birthday unless you bought dessert and they had some regular latex balloons they would blow up, but we paid for them of course. Afterwards, Adeline wanted to go to build a bear with some money her Great-Grandma Jeanne sent her. Adeline has got SO many bears from here, so I made sure she knew this would be her last one, and from now on she can just get clothes and stuff for her bears.
That night I made Adeline a cake and the 3 of us sang and ate a piece (me, Norah and Adeline). Happy Birthday to my sweet little Adeline! She thinks that she can do things better, run faster, etc. now that she is 4. Adeline is such a loyal friend and a really good sister to Norah. She does boss her around quite a bit, but is always sweet to her. She is an energizer bunny that can go, go, go all day long and hardly takes any rests (and REFUSES to take naps). She is very independent and always seems to know EXACTLY what she wants... to the point where she is disappointed because something is not exactly right (super frustrating for me sometimes). She is competitive, sensitive and generally a pretty happy kid. We love her so much! Happy Birthday Adeline!!

Pretty crazy you have a 4 year old! I'm glad Adeline had some fun birthday celebrations. I can't believe Abe is gone for so long, that must be hard...are you still coming to Utah?? Miss you!
Happy Birthday Adeline! I meant to have Allie call her, but obviously forgot. Looks like she had a good birthday though. I hear ya on Build a Bear......and we've only been to Rainforest Cafe once. We were planning on taking Avery there for her birthday but I think you've convinced me not to!
