Happy 4th birthday Liesl

After a wonderful trip to Idaho, we got to celebrate Liesl's 4th birthday today.  I cannot believe that my little girl is four today.  She definitely has brought so much joy into our lives.  It seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.  Time does go by so fast.  Liesl, Gabi, Paul and I took her out to lunch at Golden Corral because not only do they have a variety of food to pick from their dessert bar is great and she could pick out what she wanted.  After that we took her to pick up Hans from school and then met up with Lito and Lita, and Tia Yvonne at the house.  After visiting for a while, Lita, Liesl and me went to get her some ballet shoes and clothes for her birthday.  She had so much fun spending time with Lita.  After that we picked up the boys and Gabi and we went and had an ice cream together.  It was such a special time for the kids and especially Liesl to spend time with Lito and Lita on her special day.  That night we ate dinner and got to blow out her candles and eat some delicious cake.  I am so grateful for Liesl and her special spirit.  She is such a sweet caring little girl and I can't wait to see what this year brings for her.  Happy Birthday!
