The Start of Four.

 We took Kadence and her friend Kendallynn to Chuck E. Cheese for a little pre-Birthday celebration.  We are headed out of town Wednesday for the rest of the week but we wanted to do something special and include her good friend.  Kendallynn is in Kadence's class and they talk nonstop about each other.  It is actually pretty neat because her mom Bethany is an old coworker and friend of ours from our days at Meritcare.  Kendallynn also lives in our development so hopefully the two of them can play together after school is out.  We picked Kendallynn up and they were holding hands and skipping on the way to the car.  I couldn't help but smile.

 We started out with pizza and the kids were so excited they could hardly eat.

I followed the girls around as they spent their tokens.  They were having so much fun.

 Kenzie was having a blast and was a handful at usual.  Landon loves playing all the games and him and Ryan had fun playing boy games together.  I have to tell a funny story.  Towards the end, as I was struggling to watch all 4 of the kids play, I looked over to see Ryan tossing footballs at a game like he was back in high school.  I thought, boys will be boys and didn't have the heart to call him over.  Then after about 10 minutes I was losing my marbles and looked over again to see him still tossing footballs.  It's true, boys will always be boys.  Thank goodness he ran out of tokens and we were ready to go!

We stopped for some ice cream on the way home.  Kadence picked Dairy Queen and I know Ryan was very disappointed.

 I call her the queen...

She finds a way to get whatever she wants from EVERYONE!  Kendallynn started sharing her ice cream with Kenzie and then they all were.  Nothing like sharing some germs!

What a fun little night of celebrating.  Kendallynn brought Kadence a cute little outfit and the two of them were attempting to plan their matching outfits for school on Wednesday.  Is that even possible, at such a young age?!  I suppose, girls will be girls.

Can't wait to continue celebrating her birthday this week at the farm and then next weekend at the hotel!
