Today, my sweet, free-spirited baby girl turned 4. Our morning started when the Bean came skipping into our room announcing, "I'm 4! I'm 4!"
She shared a short bath with her dad before he got ready for work. Casey couldn't wait- she gave her the present she picked out for her- Barbie and the Dog Park set. Then Emma chose toast with jelly for breakfast. We ran some errands, played Twister, played with Barbie and her walking dog, had a visit from Miss Jodi bearing a fun gift, and ate some sweets. I worked on baking some sweet treats for the special day.
When Chris came home, we ate Emma's choice for dinner- pancakes and turkey bacon! This was followed by a chorus of "happy birthday" from her biggest fans and some rainbow cupcakes. Then, of course, more presents! Emma was excited to open her baby doll that stands up, walks a dog, pulls a blanket up, and other fun things we've yet to figure out how to make it do. She also liked her Snow White and 7 Dwarfs characters, Mickey Mouse Yahtzee, pink earmuffs, and some new dresses in her new bigger size.
After playing past her bedtime, a birthday shower and bedtime story, a snuggle and kiss... she's off to bed to begin what will hopefully be a wonderful new year!
Those cupcakes look vaguely familiar! Did you have a helper?
