Well little miss Lydia turned 4 on Saturday! I don't know what is going on with blogspot but all of my pics are out of order and turned kind of crazy so bear with me! She woke up to her room being decorated and she was absolutely thrilled. We spent all day preparing for the party and the darling little girls got there at 3:00. We started the party off with a princess fashion show, where the girls got to strut their stuff down the pink carpet!
Then we went downstairs and played on the bounce house and the girls got their finger nails and toe nails painted (thanks to the mom's that stuck around and helped me...I don't think Chris would've been much help.)
Then the special guest arrived...Princess Amerah! Lydia has talked non-stop about having a princess party. We we got Princess Amerah to come and all I can say was it was AWESOME!!! The girls were seriously enthralled and she was so darling with them. She brought a book about her for Lydia and they learned about princess etiquette and how to dance like a princess and they even got to decorate princess crowns. Lydia was in HEAVEN and I was grateful to have her basically do the party so I didn't have to!
After Princess Amerah left we opened presents and had cake and ice cream! It was such a fun little party, Lydia had 14 of her princess friends over and they were all so darling. Audrey (i.e. Minnie Mouse) had a complete melt down half way through the party so luckily she took a nap.) Lydia got such nice things from all of her friends and she had so much fun!
Then on Sunday we had my family over for dinner and cake and ice cream. That is when Lydia got to open her presents from Chris and I (yes we are mean we made her wait an entire day.) When Chris picked her up from primary she told everyone as she was leaving "it was my birthday and now I get to go home and open all of my presents...YEAH!!!!) I was laughing she was so excited!
I sort of can't believe that she is 4...I know I say that all the time but I really can't. It feels like yesterday we were living at the farm, I was riding around on a riding lawn mower to try to get her to come a little earlier and here we are 4 years later. I can not even express how much I love Lydia. I feel so lucky to have her for a daughter, she brings so much joy into our life. It is sort of a ritual every night as we are falling asleep in bed we recap all the cute things our kids have done, it makes me grateful to have them in my life and it also helps to remind me to enjoy it now, it wasn't but yesterday we were talking about how Lydia said "dada" for the first time. Now she is a dancing maching, playing soccer, taking art classes, loves her friends, and loves pre-school. Before I know it she will be talking about boys and driving cars and all that fun stuff....I just want to enjoy it all right now just like she is at 4 yrs old.
My little goobers!

The cake...I was so grateful to my friend Jeni who watched my kids so I could make this kid free and to my friend Emily who let me use her cake decorating tools to make it. I think it turned out pretty good, their are definitely some serious imperfections but hey it tasted really good and that's the most important part right? Ha ha ha!
