She is How Old?

Yesterday was Alex’s 4th birthday. The whole weekend was a lot of fun. My parents came up on Friday night and that is basically when the “party” started. She absolutely loves being with her grandparents.

Since her grandparents were visiting and because her birthday is on Sunday, we had a family party on Saturday night. After much deliberation, Alex settled on a butterfly cake. She changed her mind several times - after first wanting a dog, umbrella and a hot air balloon cake (all designs from a little cake book we have.) She helped make her cake and while I’m not a great cake decorator, it was perfect for a four year old girl. We also had fun with a small, but very hard to crack piñata. Thankfully there were no piñata accidents like you will sometimes see on America’s Funniest Videos. It’s amazing that she is four and we look forward to many more fun birthday’s with her.
