Maren turns FOUR!

Maren turned FOUR a month ago! After seeing her brothers have birthdays in April, she was super excited it was finally her turn.  Her birthday happened to land on Memorial Day this year so the morning was spent at our ward's breakfast.  Afterwards, we headed to the Wildlife Safari where we got to drive through the park and look at animals (deer, antelope, bison, pelicans are the ones I remember).  We opened presents and had cake and ice cream that evening.

Maren had her first birthday party a few days later and invited some friends.  It was a Rapunzel themed party and we first colored pictures of Rapunzel (the boys colored Flynn).  Next we had a craft and made little Pascal blowers.  We then played pin the hair on Rapunzel followed by decorating sun sugar cookies.  Lastly, we opened presents and ate cupcakes.  I think Maren was in heaven with all her friends over.
