Allegiance is Turning Four

What a big day for a big girl!!! Today we celebrated Allegiance's 4th Birthday with a Dora Adventure Party. We played some games, ate some lunch (hotdogs cooked out by Daddy!) and cake, and opened presents!

My favorite part was the adventure! When I brought out the cake, Hannah came dressed as Swiper and told the kids that it was too late, she had stolen the candles and ruined Legi's birthday party. Then I gave each of the girls a backpack like the one on Dora and they had to get out their maps. We went to Puzzle Bridge (a large kindergarten puzzle with letters missing), Lollipop Forest (our office with suckers scattered everywhere for them to find), and Sneaky Swamp (where Hannah and Cole were sleeping and the girl's had to sneak by). Then we found the Treasure Toybox where the candles (and other treasures) were hidden. The girls had a blast, and it wasn't too hard to plan or clean up (unlike last year's shin dig)!!! Overall, it was a great way to bring in Allegiance's 4th birthday!
