Reese's 4th Birthday

So these ended up way out of order but oh well. Yesterday was Reese's 4th birthday. She came running into our bedroom bright and early and the first thing she said, "It's my birthday!" All day long she kept asking when will her "guests" arrive. I thought it was funny she kept saying guests, it sounds so grown up! I suppose she is getting quite grown up. We had a few tears throughout the day too... for some reason at various times she decided she didn't want to be 4 yet and still wanted to be 3. I'm not sure what that was all about. Hopefully soon she'll decide it's ok to be 4.
We had a lot of friends and family there to celebrate.
Reese loves her cousin Brooklyn soo much. She was so excited to have her at her party. They are only 10 months apart so they get along quite well. She even got to spend the night - which was probably her favorite gift from the whole day.
Up until about a week ago we were planning on a Rapunzel Party but she changed her mind at the last minute to a Lalaloopsy party instead. The menu consisted of: Baked Potato soup, breadsticks, fruit and dip, sugar cookies shaped like buttons, watermelon popcorn and raspberry smoothie drink. We had to improvise with most of the decorations since no body has any Lalaloopsy decor anywhere. Her favorite Lalaloopsy is Jewel Sparkles (pictured above in the middle) so we just did everything pink and girly, since that is what Jewel is all about.



Hugs for Grandma Nan, thanking her for her princess dolls.


A new Lalaloopsy! Thanks Dylan!
This is the first year I've bought a cake from the bakery. This one was just too cute and it was one less thing to stress over.
Reese and all her loot. We're thinking about maybe celebrating her birthday in the summer, to help spread out her gift receiving.
It was a fun party and we're grateful to all those who came! We're grateful to all those who couldn't be there and sent gifts (Ava and Sadie).

Seriously cute party! I about fell off my chair when I saw that cake, I thought you had made it! What a cute cake! I would have bought from the bakery too. I can't believe she is 4, she is looking so grown-up already!
