She's 4!!

Our little girl just had her 4th birthday! We decided to let her have a small birthday party with friends. She's been wanting a pinata for months and that ended up being her favorite part. It was crazy, but lots of fun. Then we had grandparents, my sister, and Jeff and Cherie over for cake and ice cream (and plenty of presents). She had a good day. She kept telling us that on her birthday she was going to get up early and jump on our bed and tell us that it's her birthday. Well, Daddy was already gone to work, but she managed to get up before me and tell me. =) We visited my mom that day and played at the curiosity museum for a little while. I'm sure grateful to have this smart, kind, gentle soul in my life.

Love her sweet smile.
She wanted a Little Mermaid theme.

pinata time! I think all the kids loved it.

My older sisters would squeeze frosting for
decorating on my fingernails for "polish."
The tradition continues..
