Happy 4th Birthday Carmel and Claire!!!

Carmel and Claire are turning 4 tomorrow, January 26th. I cannot believe how big they have gotten and how grown up they are! I have loved every minute of their 4 years of life and have been so blessed to be able to spend it with them. They are having a big shabang on Saturday, but I am unable to make it because my family is leaving town. So, instead we kept to the tradition of going to dinner! Red Robin it was, and boy did we love it! I had the crispy chicken tender salad, (which you can never go wrong with) Cailin had the new BBQ chicken whiskey river salad, Claire enjoyed a hamburger and fries, and miss Carmel had some mac and cheese with salad! In past years I have always gotten the girls a chocolate milkshake, and they weren't about to let me forget it ;) So, we got some chocolate milkshakes and rootbeers. Then, (me being the forgetful person I am and not remembering to tell the waitress it was their birthday) when we were getting ready to pay and leave Cailin mentioned to the waitress that it was their birthday to find out if they sang. Unfortunately, Red Robin does not sing for you. However, she said she would bring us out a "little mud pie". Yeah, it was not little! But it was wonderful and she was very kind to do that. I got the girls a Tangled/Rapunzel night gown which, as you can see, they loved! Points to me! You will also notice that there is only one balloon in the last picture... this is because poor Carmel was traumatized one day when they all decided to let go of their balloons and watch them go up in the air. Ever since that day she refuses to get a balloon LOL poor thing. I had a great time and got some much needed neglected loving from the girls since I don't see them as often as I used to or would like to. Great night!

Happy Birthday Carmel and Claire!!!
