Birthday Dinner

Our hiking tradition has only completed its second year, but we have been celebrating Leila's birthday with dinner at Red Robin since she turned one! This year was no exception. After hiking all day at Mt. Rainier (see previous post), we came home, got cleaned up and headed to dinner at our family favorite. This picture wasn't taken on her birthday and it obviously is not Red Robin. Instead it was a couple nights after her birthday. Soccer had started already and as soon as practice was over, we took her to the mall. She had no idea why were we going. We walked into Build-a-Bear where she discovered that all the Donny Ninja Turtles were STILL sold out! She started to cry (she kinda thought we were getting her one for her birthday a few days before). Chris handed her a UPS box and said "I think it is time you open this." She did and low and behold there was Donny, waiting to be stuffed! She was ecstatic! Happy birthday, kiddo!
