Adele's Birthday!

We had such a busy birthday weekend that I'm not sure which pictures to post first. Todd was in Europe on the 16th so we didn't want to have the official celebration in his absence but lucky for us the Baldes crew was here to celebrate. They were kind enough to make Adele a Gluten Free cake (they have food allergies and we got to explore the world of dairy free and Gluten Free while they were here). From that point on every time she heard the Happy Birthday song she would scream "cake, cake, cake!" I even let her have cake for breakfast on her big day! You can tell in the thrid picture that it's still dark out;)

Veda's best birthday surpise was a visit from Didi and Papi who came to town to watch the Cyclones in the NCAA tourney. They arrived in the wee hours of the morning on Adele's birthday and showered her with gifts and lots of attention. It was also Grandpa Gary's first time meeting Winston and they really hit it off - mainly because Winston didn't make a peep so he was granted access to Gary's lap;) We took the girls out for birthday ice cream that night!

When Todd got home on Saturday we gave Adele's some more gifts and sang happy birthday - to which she responded with "cake, cake, cake!"

She had her birthday celebration at school today. We brough in a pinata and she and her friends shared a mini birthday cake.
