Marceline turned 4 yesterday. Sam said 4 was a big birthday.  Now I don’t remember that being the case, but I’m not one to tone down a birthday unless it’s my own.

We let Marceline pick her meals today. Donuts for breakfast, the morning playing at a library, ate lunch out and got to celebrate her birthday at preschool with her.

Sam made and frosted a cake. Homemade buttercream frosting wasn’t up to her standards, but I thought it tasted and looked fine. Besides we haven’t made buttercream frosting in a long time.

Marceline’s cake was blue with yellow frosting sunflowers and decorated with strawberries and blueberries.

Her big present was a new bicycle with training wheels and lights. It took us about an hour of playing outside to realize that the reason the light strips weren’t bright was because we hadn’t removed the steps of stickers covering the lights.

Shocking how much of a difference that made. But Marceline didn’t seem to care either way.

She feels asleep pretty easily, a sign of a good day for sure.
