Eliza's FOURTH Birthday

 Happy Birthday, Eliza!!!!!  Starting the morning off with some presents!!

 Olivia gave Eliza the princess Magiclips!  They are a HUGE hit around here.

 Sweet girls!

 Mike had a super quick trip to Buffalo, NY a few weeks ago.  He literally spent one night in the hotel and turned around and came back to Abu Dhabi.  He spent more time on the plane than he did on the ground!  Thankfully, his hotel was very close to a Target where he picked up this bike for Eliza.  Bikes are so expensive here and this one was small enough to check as a piece of luggage.  How far we have fallen from our "no Disney princess" rule :-)

 Later that day we went to Yas Mall for a birthday celebration lunch.  Yas Mall is right next to the F1 race track, hence this little car the kids could climb in. 

 Look at the smirk :-)

 We took this Texas girl to Texas Roadhouse with our good friends, the Ottingers.

Eliza and her bestie, Breece

 None of us had ever been here before, but had heard it was fun for birthdays.  They put her on the birthday saddle and made a loud birthday announcement.

Another go at the birthday saddle!

After lunch, we took Olivia to a birthday party at another mall.  Mike, Eliza, and I went and had a little coffee and fruit salad with a few princesses.

So hard to believe, our little spunky sweetness is FOUR!  Where does the time go?  She is still our super outgoing, audience loving, slightly headstrong, adoring younger sister, show stopper, picky eater, playful, friendly, mischievous, sweet tooth, super loving little lady.  We just adore her, could eat her with a spoon.  She always keeps us laughing!

Having one last birthday treat for this sweet tooth girl!

 The next day, I took cupcakes to her little preschool
