My baby turns 4!


Today, 4 years ago, I sat in the hospital staring into the eyes of my beautiful baby girl... and today I am doing the same thing. I am beyond blessed to have this precious little girl in my life and even more blessed to be called her mother! She has been the EASIEST baby, toddler, and little girl. She is just so pleasant to be around! The past few months she has been asking SO many questions about God, heaven, Jesus, etc. My prayer for this girl is that God grabs a hold of her heart and makes her even more beautiful than she already by His life shining in her.

Since we've been sick for almost 2 weeks now, I decided to just keep her birthday low key and maybe have her first ever slumber party in a few weeks. Her Nana and Pop Pop came in town for the day (from NJ) and took her on a shopping spree and tried to spoil her rotten, but she didn't want much! What kid puts things back and constantly is saying "no, thank you" when you are trying to buy them the entire store??? She is an odd little thing... but she did pick out a few things she liked. What she really wanted was a "tinker bell" cake. I managed to pull it off as you can see and now I have a very VERY happy 4 year old!

We are off to picture people for her 4 yr old picture... she requested a dress and curly hair for the occasion. I love having a "girly" girl! Oh and she also wanted to sleep in "mommy's bed". (not sure if she meant the couch or the bed:) How can I turn down snuggling her all night??? It will be fun to just love on her and let her know how much she means to us!!! I thank the Lord for another year He's allowed me to have with her....
