Birthday Recap

I still can't believe my little girl is four!  I keep calling her 3, partly because I'm just not used to it and partly because I don't want her to grow up.  But man, if that girl catches me saying three she sure speaks up..."I am FOUR now Mommy, FOUR!!"  I promise I'll get it right sometime in the next 6 months. :)

Last weekend we had her birthday party, which turned out great!  She woke up so happy and talked about it all day.  I love this age and how excited she is about everything.  Here are a few pictures from the party...



My grandma made this quilt for her and she loves it so much!  She drags it around the house wherever she goes and tells everyone, "My Nana made this for me!" 



My mom made cake balls and cupcakes and this cake for Alexa, SO yummy!


Last Tuesday was her actual birthday and of course she woke up to (my favorite birthday tradition) a room full of balloons.  Her and Braden have spent hours this past week playing in those things.  I told her today that it was time to get rid of them because I was sick of tripping over them all over the house, but then she gave me a sad face...maybe a couple more days. :)




I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday and she insisted that we got to the beach.  I wish!  However it was about 40 degrees and rainy so it wasn't going to happen.  So instead she decided to just wear a swimsuit around the house all day.


That night we had leftover cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday 4 times, per her request. :)

Love the pictures! Gah, she is adorable.

Also? You are, hands down, the best mama on the planet.

I did the room-full-of-balloons for my babes on their b-day and OH MY GOODNESS, they were in heaven. (Nevermind that I totally popped them all after a few days because I was tired of stepping on them and getting all startled by the popping) But while I lasted, they were SO FUN!

Anyway, miss you lots!
