Leonard had to work late on Ali's birthday, so we took her out for her birthday dinner the night before.
When we lived in Taiwan, Chili's was our family's favorite restaurant. Here in India it's TGIFriday's.
This hat kept falling off, so...
Ali switched it to this one.
Bring on the presents!
Build your own ice cream cone and cupcake toys!
And lots of rainbow clothes, swimsuit, pj's, and shoes.
I originally bought the rainbow shorts with the popsicle shirt, and the heart shirt to go with the rainbow skirt. However, when I got them out of the bag to wrap them, I discovered that the popsicle shirt was made for the rainbow skirt! I didn't love the heart shirt with the rainbow shorts, so back to the store I went. Flower shirt with rainbow shorts now and aqua shorts with the heart shirt, much better. I also bought the middle dress and hair flowers earlier for her 3 year old pictures. I wish I could wear such cute clothes, tee hee!

Ali picked out her birthday cake as well as some macarons (they didn't have the purple, lavender-flavored ones, so she chose the pink, rose-flavored ones). We had planned to eat her cake this night, and to save the macarons so she could still have a treat on her actual birthday. When we were walking home from the mall, she said, "It's dark outside, it's bedtime!" and she kept yawning. She decided to have the macarons here and save her cake for her birthday.
As Ali says, "Delicious!"
