Aoife's 4th Birthday!

 Happy Birthday Aoife!!!  Wow - it's hard to believe that she is 4 already!  What a wonderful, loving, spirited girl she has grown into!  She LOVES her baby brother and plays with Emmy and Aidan so well.  She is a good friend, leader and classmate.  She is so much fun to be with and you never know what is going to come out of her mouth!!!
This morning we had pancakes - apple per Aoife's request.  After breakfast we skyped with Brendan on the iPad so he could watch Aoife (and Aidan and Emmy) open presents.  We played for a while and then went to see The Croods with our neighbor and her daughter.  After the movie and a short quiet time, Aoife went to her friend's birthday party for an hour before we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner which was followed by cake at home!
Whew!  A busy and super fun day!!!  Aoife really racked in the presents!  She got legos, an easel, dot paints, dresses, an RC car, a picnic basket and more!  She's growing up so fast!  Here are links to her first, second and third birthdays!!

Everyone squinting in the bright sun!  Headed into the movie theater!

Aoife wanted no part of this picture:

Emmy was all about it!
