Well our little girl turned 4yrs old today!!!!! Wow, it is crazy to think that she has been with us for that length of time!!! I can't imagine our life without her....Tristen is full of energy, life, and fun!!! We actually celebrated her birthday all weekend long... as per her request. It was actually a lot of fun and who can ever complain about good family time.
So Tristen's birthday celebration started Saturday afternoon when we headed to good old Chucky Cheese!!!! Tristen was really excited to go and things actually went really well there since it wasn't busy or overly crowded. After lunch we headed to downtown naperville where we went to a specialty candy store and let Tristen pick out some of her favorite treats. Then we went to a gourmet cupcake shop and picked out a couple more treats...mommy certainly wasn't complaining about this stop! Any ways, after that we headed to a hotel and spent the night there, we weren't too far away from home, but Tristen LOVES going to a hotel and spending the night, so why not??? It was a free stay with our credit card points. So the kids had a ball in our hotel suite, they played, watched tv, went swimming, and by 8:00pm they passed out from exhaustion!!! So it was a fun and relaxing weekend. Since we celebrated Tristen's birthday over the weekend, on her actual birthday (today), we had a relaxing day and went to walmart to pick out a toy with her money from far away Grandma/pa and we had nice dinner, cake, and gifts. Below are some
pictures of our weekend and of her b-day!!!

Tristen's b-day cake I made her, I borrowed a mold from a friend, it was easy and took maybe 10 mins to decorate, now that is what I call my kind of birthday cake!

Poor Blake is going to hate me for this one when he gets older, I was trying to stall him before

All in all it was a great weekend and we are soo thankful to have Tristen in our family. She definitely keeps us on our toes, but we can't imagine life without her or any other way. Happy 4th birthday Tristen!!!!!
