The big #4!!

It's hard to believe that our precious girl turned 4 years old on May 9th! She has been nothing but a joy to us and we are very proud of all that she has learned. She is such a smart girl and an AMAZING big sister and an INCREDIBLY good helper to her mommy. Sometimes I ask her to get me something and she will bring it to me. Then I think of something else that I need and she'll get it and bring it to me. Often it will happen 4 or 5 times and she just does it for me without complaining, and I think she actually enjoys it because she knows what a big girl she is. Oh how we love our girl and appreciate having here in our family!

The day before her birthday we had a combined party with her cousin Danielle, whose birthday is on May 10th. She and her family came down here to St. David and all the kids had such a fun time.

We had a princess themed party so we had the girls dress as princesses.

Roy wanted to dress as a princess too, but instead we dug out this adorable Indian costume that Flory made years ago for her own kids.

The girls are showing off the favorite gift of the day.

Crystal made this adorable cake to go along with our theme.

Her birthday was on a Sunday so she got to wear a pretty dress all day and in this picture she's posing with her new locket.

We got a Barbie movie from the library a few weeks ago and she was so sad when we had to take it back so we got one for her and she loves it!
