My daughter Fiona recently turned four years old. What a crazy fun age this is! Her personality constantly has me in hysterics. Especially the way she talks in all sorts of voices... has to be my favorite thing in the world. And for the most part she's an incredibly happy person and oh so easy to please. It really is the simple things for her.
This year we had a mini celebration with family, prior to having a birthday party with friends. In another life I might be a baker, but today I'm just not, I've definitely made cupcakes with the kids before but on a whole, baking isn't really my gig... so, store bought doughnuts it is! Pink flowers, a cupcake balloon the size of her body and we sang Happy Birthday in the morning, she was the happiest little girl.
After all the morning sweetness we decided a trip to the zoo would be the best place to burn off the sugar high. It was the perfect day, temperature wise, sunny but nice and cool. We cruised the Monkey and Aviara trails, which are covered in greenery, it really is the best, we checked out the snakes, crocodile and turtles, then rode the Sky Ride.
As we got off the Sky Ride we totally lucked out, Santa had set up shop in the zoo, and there was no line... I don't know how that could be but it was. The kids talked to Santa, told him they would be good and whispered their secret wishes for Christmas. Check that off the list.

After our visit with Santa we hit the kids playground and called it day. All in all a fun little day for the birthday girl.
