The big 4

Laura's birthday on the 19th was so relaxed and fun. I think her favorite part was that Daddy stayed home the entire day, she kept asking me if he really wasn't going anywhere! We had pancakes and a very small, low key party with a few friends, opened presents a few at a time all day long, had corndogs and mac and cheese for dinner, and finished off the day getting ice cream and playing on the toys at artic circle.

At her little party the girls decorated princess 'crowns' with stickers, markers, and jewels, ran around and ate a yummy strawberry cake.

Her favorite presents included the coloring books from Grandma Martha, 'Cinderella' from Mommy, a jewelry making kit with big wooden beads from Victoria, an art kit from Mary Alice, and some puzzles and books on CD from Daddy.
She looked so grown up all day long in her new birthday dress. It stops me for a second to think that my Laura is four years old. I'm so grateful for her and the way she makes me smile every day.

Kind of freaks me out that she's 4 years old, I'm not gonna lie.
