Happy Birthday, Mary!

Happy 4th birthday to my beautiful, smart, amazing little girl!  She is growing up into such a lovely person, not just in looks, but in personality.

We started off the day with a power outage.  :(  Boo!  Anyway, it gave us a good excuse to have a special breakfast out in town.  McDonalds!!!!








Apparently, a storm's a brewing and I'm the only one that doesn't know about it.  I was happy with the increased wind and the overcast skies.  Made for a much cooler day, so I was finally able to grant little girl's wish and take them to the beach.  I've been wanting to go to Toguchi Beach for quite a while, but was never able to coordinate a perfect time when Kristen and her girls were still here (they lived right down the street from the beach).
The birthday swing
Wish it was a tad bit sunnier, but what a pretty beach.

We had a great time looking for shells...
What he lacked in quantity, he made up for in quality!
Due to the power outage (ALL DAY), we had to eat out for dinner.  I suggested a special birthday dinner at Macaroni Grill.  Mary chose Popeyes instead.  Oh boy.  We were eating and she said, "Mom, this is a super fancy dinner!  They even gave us the smell!"  Yes, they did.
Happy Birthday,  sweet Mary!
And the best present yet?  No, not the power coming back on, though that's a close 2nd.  We're heading to the airport in a few hours to pick up Daddy!  Yea!!!
