More of May-Siri's Fourth Birthday

Okay. Lots of pictures for Siri's fourth birthday. My mom came to town to help us celebrate (and document) the festivities...What a sweet time...

Then, off for play and a hike. At the end of the year, this was one of Siri's FAVORITE things to do: clean this little house. Thankfully, she likes to clean our house, too.

These three-Annie, Eliana, and Tommy-all had end-of-May birthdays so they celebrated together.

After school, we had lunch at Wendy's, ran some errands, and then picked Annie up from school, Daddy from work, and then headed to the Mall of America for Siri to pick her four rides.

After dinner, we headed back home to make Strawberry Shortcake and open some more presents

A couple days after her birthday, we celebrated Siri's birthday with friends. Siri wanted a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party with a Bella Bunny cake. Once again, thank you, Emily for a wonderful cake!
