Celebrating four years

This past weekend we had fun celebrating Ashlyn's 4th birthday!  We were able to celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa Hochstetler and Aunt Heidi.  My mom and dad were out spending a weekend with the girls a couple of weeks ago and they had a celebration with Ashlyn then.  Ashlyn had a nice, stretched out couple of weeks of celebrating.....lucky girl.

With her best friend in the world, Kyla

 Getting excited to open gifts!


Getting down to business.....

Modeling one of her new gifts.....a grilling ensemble and tools.  Now she will be ready to grill with daddy.

And another favorite gift.....a new umbrella with matching rain coat and boots

 Had to put it all on

Some more opening

 Almost time for cake.....letting us know how old she is.  Holding up her "4".

Ready to dive in

Happy birthday girl!!


Ashlyn loved when we sang "Happy Birthday" to her....taking it all in



Time to blow out the candles and make a wish

 Our family

We are so thankful for four years with this precious life.  Something to truly celebrate.
