A Day in the Life...

Look who's four!  We were so excited to celebrate four years with these girls and we are so blessed to have them in our family. At four years old, both of them: get dressed/undressed without help write their names (when they feel like it) know their letters, numbers, and shapes count to 20 ride scooters and training wheel bikes draw pictures of our family talk up a storm For their birthday day, we woke up and hit Lehi Bakery for a donut breakfast.  I packed candles and a lighter because I knew they wouldn't wait until we got home to eat them.  So we sang in the parking lot.  Dakota looks annoyed but thought it was great!  We dropped off dad (who had to work) and then van to get the I/M done.  While waiting, we bought fireworks and walked to McDonald's to play.  After going home and showering we went to the dollar store and they were a-m-a-z-e-d to walk out with four presents each.  I had to remind them they already got...
