Elsie's special request for her 4th birthday cake was rainbows and Hello Kitty. My mom came up with this cake made from a rainbow of M&M's and two cute kitties. We all thought it turned out so cute! I've been remembering back to when Elsie was born and the craziness surrounding our home purchase, remodeling, c-section, new infant, and moving all within 1 month! It was a very difficult time, but also so joyful! We have now been at our duplex with the Rasmussens for 4 years and we are still enjoying our home and our friends. Elsie has grown into such a sweet and fun little girl. She is quick to laugh and joke and also quick to pull out the pouts. Elsie has a special fondness for sweets (more than the other kids) and loves to color and cut paper. She can sit for hours at the dining table doing crafts with the bigger kids. She is pretty shy away from home and is not known for being friendly toward strangers, but she really knows how to cut loose at home. As a 4 year-old she still follows what Weston and Grace are doing most of the day. We pray she will learn to be a leader as she learns more about whom God has created her to be. Elsie's speech is continuing to improve and she enjoys going to a preschool speech class on Wednesdays. This girl loves to be in the kitchen helping! We are so thankful for our little "Elfie" Noelle! It's so fun to picture what she might be like in 10 or 15 years!
This is at our special Red Robin birthday date on Friday night. We like to take each of the kids out to dinner alone around their birthdays. With 3 other siblings they rarely get to spend time with Mike and I alone, so we enjoy this tradition. It worked out great that Elsie wanted Red Robin since she got a free kids' meal for her birthday and Mike got a free burger for his birthday (the 18th). They both also got free ice cream sundaes, balloons and the birthday song :)
