Happy #4

Well, Sister is 4.  What can I say?  I survived this far!  Where has the time gone??  I miss the baby stage?  I love her little personality, complete with attitude, expressions for days, defiance, loudness, love, jokes, hugs, and giggles.  She's strong willed, hard headed, tough, and set in her ways.  She's a momma's girl, loves to be held, wants to watch Paw Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Pinkalicious, Peppa Pig, and Curious George.  Annie can hold her own, she knows what she wants and won't stop until she gets it.  She's girly, but not.  She's the greatest surprise we ever got and for her we are so thankful.

For her birthday party this year I wanted to keep it cheap, small, and simple.  My friend, Jennifer, wanted to do the same thing for her daughter, Maggie, so we opted to go in together.  It was a: come and drop your child off, don't bring a gift, we will feed them sugar while they play, and then come back and pick them up!

 Maggie is very girly girl.  I told Jennifer it was okay to have a princess party.  The night before the party Annie wouldn't get out of the shower.  I said, "Come on.  We have to pick out your princess dress."  She still wouldn't get out of the shower.  I looked at her again and said, "Come on.  We have to pick out your princess dress for your party tomorrow!"  She cut her eyes at me and said, "I am not wearing a princess dress.  I'm going to be a dog (Paw Patrol) because they need a princess puppy!" 

Naturally, I'm dying inside thinking, "there's always one weird one in every group and it's my daughter."  So like any good mom would do, I called a few people to tell them about the conversation that Annie and I had together.  I guess she sensed the urgency that she must change her mind and become a princess, so she pulled through.  (Please note, that during the party I caught her running around in her panties).

 Jennifer kindly agreed to host the party after I suggested her house would be better than mine since they have a trampoline and swing set.  Due to all the buckets of rain we had gotten, it was an inside party all the way.

 

 

 Decorating their own cupcakes was a pleasing activity to these 3 and 4 year old princesses.

 

Happy Happy Birthday to my baby girl!!!!!  We couldn't love you more.
