G's 4th Birthday Party

Yes, G turned 4 this December 13th. It's just crazy to me, 4 sounds so grown up. Not a toddler, far from a baby, but, 4 years old!!! She was very excited to invite family and friends over to celebrate with her on her actual Birthday day, which fell on a Saturday this year. We were trying to think of a theme or something a little "fun" to celebrate with. She suggested a PINK party. Of course, that's a great idea. It's easy to decorate and lots of fun for her. As it came time to create invitations, we decided to change it to a PINK and RED party so the boys wouldn't feel obligated to wear pink (even though daddy did). We all had a wonderful time celebrating with Family, Friends and Neighbors, a Tinkerbell cake, plenty of gifts, and most importantly tons of fun. It was a great and special day for our sweet 4 year old.

G's first, second and third Birthdays :-)

Siesta Key, Florida

In the beginning of November we took our annual 7 day trip to Siesta Key, Florida with K's family. K's dad and stepmom spend two weeks there each November. We've gone to stay with them every year since G was born and each year seems to be more fun for her. This year was the first year she swam on her own. She wore a swimming vest and floaties but, was off kicking and splashing all by herself. She even put her face all the way in the water all alone. This is a big deal for an almost 4 year old! This year was especially fun for her because she not only had her cousin A (who was there last year with her), she also had her cousins there too. We had beautiful weather and got to spend a lot of time on the Beach and in the pool. Can't wait for next year! (it's 4 below outside today)
