Happy 4th Birthday

There is a family tradition in our house that on your birthday you wake up to find a present on the end of your bed.

What a great way to start off the day with the book by the author Love You Like Crazy Cakes titled Every Year on Your Birthday. It’s a must have and I found this one in the bargain books at our local grocery story.





I had plenty of help to pull off the festivities Ingrid Carly and Olivia were my little helpers and extra eyes on the kids as they played from one water play activity to the next. Just a few minutes to chill out before the party started watching Mulan

My big 4 year old

Let the party begin there were sprinklers, little pools, a water table for magnet fishing and sidewalk painting with water of course and lots and lots of fun.

Everyone loved playing on the swing set




The future looks bright I better ware my shades

everyone joined in on the fun

We added a drip water line to the slide and turned it into a water slide loads of fun

Can anyone guess where this cake comes from you got it Mr Fluffy's Bakery from Ni Hao Kilan well not really but our local bakery was happy to reproduce it from a story book. Ahhh so cute



She blew

and she blew

and she blew

I was afraid I bought the wrong candels you know the ones that don't go out. We'll save that for another year

Turning Mama into a present with a big kiss on top




Everything had to stop there were stickers to stick

Playing with her first computer game. With in minutes she had it figured out. Now she can teach me.

She was truly the Bell of the ball and loved every minute of her very speical day. Enjoying a second helping of cake.

As we sat outside for dinner and said a prayer thanking God for bringing this incredibly special little girl into our lives my Mother looked up to see a rainbow shooting out of the top of Annalise’s head. She is truly a gift from God and a blessing to our whole family.

Happy Birthday

A day to remember and a spectacular sunset to finish it all off
