I don't know how it went by so fast, but Baby Girl turned FOUR years old in October! She has become this beautiful, funny, intelligent, strong-willed, kind, precious little girl overnight.
I took these pictures for her birthday invitation:
Her birthday was on a Wednesday and it started with a wake up call to a room full of balloons! David absolutely loved helping carry the bag of balloons and surprising his little sister.
Rachael loved the attention and enjoyed the way her birthday started.
She just HAD to tell her baby dolls that it was her birthday.
Her birthday breakfast of choice- banana boats.
Later that morning we celebrated Rachael's birthday at school.
Rachael got to be in charge of distributing the hand sanitizer to everyone in her class- a very special job.
Party time! Rachael loved every second of being the center of attention.
David was able to come to her party. Rachael let him wear her birthday hat.
That evening we celebrated at home.
Rachael got several special phone calls from people wishing her a happy birthday. She ate up the attention!
The following weekend we had her Disney Princess Party at our house.
The Guest of Honor!
Since she loves to do crafts she wanted everyone to have a chance to decorate their own crown and/or sword.
And make beautiful layers of colored sands in a bottle.
The food and drinks we all related to Disney princesses, of course. Elsa brought her blue punch. Olaf brought some melted snow in a bottle.
Not pictured are Snow White's Dwarfs- Chic-Fil-A nuggets!
The guests arrived and the party started!
Then it was food time!
And finally cake time!!!
She was loving every second!
There were lots of presents to open!
And Thank-You hugs to give.
This was such a special gift- a doll house made by Mr. Mike. The peg people [princesses and our family] were painted by an incredibly talented friend, Ms. Amber and I made and painted the furniture.
Rachael had an awesome 4th birthday! She loved every moment of all of her special celebrations and really soaked up all the attention.
Happy Birthday to our beautiful little girl!
