Happy Birthday little girl!!

Today got started just me and Adler. we snuggled and let the dog out. i sang to her and she told me gibberish stories. I made Mickey Mouse pancakes while she played in the kitchen. up in her high chair i lit the candles and sang to her again she was delighted to blow them out. i buttered her pancake and then she asked to do the candles again. so i did, lit them up and sang to her. we ate just the two of us, I LOVED IT and can only pray i get to do this birthday "tradition" with her forever. then Rigby got up she was happy for a pancake but very sad about having to wish Adler a Happy Birthday. when daddy got up we opened presents. Not much this year, but she still has some in the mail and i am sure she will get a few at her birthday party (cupcakes and cocktails) this weekend. she was so cute tearing into the paper she really got into it. the best i think was the gift bags. she did not doddle with pulling out the paper to revile the gift she just tipped the bag upside down and got right to the goods. So far she has scored a check from great-grandma Scott, a baby doll, a shopping cart, and step stool with her name carved into it. currently she has the baby loaded up in the shopping cart with purses and diaper bags and toy food and a bunch of other stuff having a grand ole time.
