Valentine's Day fun and Surviviing Chuck-E-Cheese: Jillian turns FIVE!

 Saturday, we did some hiking at Mt. Diablo near our house.


 Ross bought some Boston Marathon themed flowers for Valentine's Day --- 9 more weeks 'till Boston!
 Fun with cupcakes


 Jillian still has pizza on her face :)


 a special note from Jillian  (Fo is how Jillian has sounded out "from")

 my sweet girl on the eve of turning FIVE!  where has the time gone?








 
 She woke up so excited that her birthday was finally HERE!


 singing Happy Birthday in Dutch too :)




 she chose McDonald's for her birthday lunch
 she declared that she was the "boss for the day" and she got to chose what we did all day .... but I think we all really know that she is the boss everyday :)
 she chose to ride her bike to 2 different parks in the afternoon

 and then...... we headed off to Chuck-E-Cheese





 intense concentration to earn tickets!
 Helen was excited to get some Root Beer for dinner








 she was excited to get some "cash" like her older siblings

 
 ride #1
 ride #2 -- never too old for a merry go round....
 .... or Bob the Builder
....blast from the past!  another birthday person in our house rides in Bob the Builder @ Chuck E Cheese.
