Aliceana is turning 4 years old tomorrow, we decided to opt out of the big party this year, and instead we’ve been celebrating a little bit all week long. Fireworks on the third, yesterday we did some shopping and had to pick up all of the ice cream. Tomorrow we have huge plans, we ordered her a cake just as she requested, round, green, and featuring the PJ Masks. We’re spending the day going to all of her favorite places Chuck E. Cheese’s for some games, Red Lobster for dinner, and Toys R Us for our after dinner meandering. Thursday we’re ending our week of fun with a picnic at the zoo where we can visit Ruth and Brittany the elephants, or the zoo’s cow Aliceana lovingly named “Hamburger.”
I love this age, we’re able to do more activities as a family, like play board games or share our favorite shows with her. We’re almost done reading all of the Harry Potter books at bedtime and that means we get to watch all 8 movies as a family really soon.
Last night we went outside with our Kemps ice cream, because honestly I’d rather the mess be outside than inside, and it was really nice outside. Perfect ice cream weather.
We bought four flavors of ice cream, which is extremely fitting for Aliceana’s 4th birthday celebration. This way everyone in the family got to have one of our favorite flavors.
Mint Cow Tracks is my flavor of choice, it has little mint chocolate cows in the ice cream which is absolutely amazing. Aliceana chose the Cherry Fudge Chunk which tastes a lot like a chocolate covered cherry, yum!
