Ida had an extended birthday celebration this year--starting with a party on Saturday with a few friends and grandparents. The party started with a little Halloween candy hunt to get the kids outside for a bit. It was a big hit!
Then on to some pizza and cake and ice cream. Marilyn made the cake and it was not only beautiful but delicious!
Ida, Henrik and Marilyn wasted no time in checking out the princess castle from Baka Curry and Sandy.
The next day was another nice day (for this time of year, at least) and the kids enjoyed riding down the hill into the leaves. They had so much fun--I suspect there will be a lot of sledding this winter.
It's been a long time since Hagen made an appearance in the blog so I thought I'd show off the nice picture I got of him hanging out in the driveway.
After dinner we got the jack-o-lanterns ready for Halloween while watching the Lions kick some butt!
It was nice again on Ida's actual birthday. Chad was out of town for work, so Suzanne picked the kids up from preschool, Ida picked Union Grill for dinner and then we headed off to the park to play for awhile.
On the way home we picked up a very large cupcake from Huron Mountain Bakery. After Ida blew out one more candle, she, Henrik and I split it three ways. Yummy! It's had to believe Ida's 4 already.
