Ami is four!

Oh, she has been waiting and waiting to turn four.  It seems like ever since she turned three she has been waiting for this day.  She will often tell people, “When I’m not three I’m going to be four.  And when I’m not four I’m going to be five.  And when I’m not five I’m going to be six.”  So I guess the countdown is now on until she is five.  :)

We started Ami’s day by singing Happy Birthday to wake her up.  We were all up and anxious to celebrate with her.  She chose cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then she got to open presents before Daddy left for work.  To top things off it had started to snow during the night and it has continued to snow throughout the day.  It’s beautiful!

Chewing gum from Michaela, finally now that she's four!

Ami had a great day playing with all of her new goodies and chewing gum.  For her birthday dinner she chose green beans, chicken nuggets, and jello.  Chicken nuggets are a rare treat for her since most have dairy products in the breading.  I can’t remember the last time she got to eat any.  She also chose pink cake with pink frosting and sprinkles.

We are thankful everyday for our Ami treasure that God surprised us with.  Yes, we call Ami our “surprise pregnancy”.  We thought we were done, but God.  He had bigger and better plans and I can’t imagine having missed this.  First Ami, then Elijah, what next God?  :)

Here’s a video I took today.  It’s a bit long, but Ami just kept going on and on so I kept the camera rolling.  She is very imaginative!
