Happy Birthday Allie!

Happy 4th Birthday, Allie! Wow! I can't believe my little girl is 4 years old! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital.

Oh, my sweet Allie! I can't even begin to explain what she brings to our family. Her sweet spirit makes our home a special place. She ADORES her brothers and LOVES being a big sister! (She also has her mom and dad wrapped pretty tightly around her fingers!)

Allie loves pre-school, Sunbeams, and gymnastics! She's a natural ballerina because she still walks, runs and stands on her tippy toes. We all love her and wanted to make her birthday a special day.

We started out the day with a breakfast for champions: bagel with "bagel cheese", as Allie calls it.

Allie requested a Chuck-E-Cheese birthday! She invited her best friend, Julie, to celebrate her special night! Everyone played the games, but all the tickets earned were given to Allie.

Zach and Matt helped Allie earn A LOT of tickets! She walked away with some pretty cool prizes!

And of course Sara had a great time too! She was just fascinated with all the excitement - and the token cup!

And a birthday isn't complete without cake and ice cream - or in true Joachim family fashion - ice cream cake! Who could ask for anything more?

We love you Allie! Happy Birthday!
