Our little girl is 4!!! I cannot believe it. I know it’s the cliche thing to say but WHERE DID THE TIME GO???!!?! It was so fun this year because he is so aware an opinionated about what was to happen on her birthday. She had all her friends picked out (“no boys except for Liam”), her theme (Rapunzel), her hair style (a braid with flowers in it), her dress (first Rapunzel costume then long dress), her desired presents (too numerous to list), her cake (Rapunzel cake with strawberries), her crown, the balloons,, her shoes, and on and on. She counted down the days to her party from 14 nights on and would sometimes be so disappointed when she was off by a day or night. All the girls came to our house around 10 and we packed up our two cars and my mom’s car and headed to see the play Rapunzel at the Kirkland Performing Arts Center. They were so cute and excited though not a single one of them knew what to expect. They were all so good during the show (snacks from Grandma made all the difference). When the show was over, the actresses asked where the birthday girl was and the entire theatre (150 people) sang Happy Birthday to her! She was basking in it and couldn’t believe they knew her name! We came back to the house for lunch and cake and the girls played until parents came to pick them all up. Both kids ended up napping after all the excitement – Skyler actually went upstairs and was asleep before anyone knew she was gone! Mom and dad needs naps too but it was so worth the effort. I know she felt so loved and appreciated.
