My beautiful daughter turned 4 this week...something I'm having a hard time getting my head around. 4. She can no longer be considered the baby of our family at all. She's a real little girl. This week has been wonderful, remembering with her just what a blessing she is to us and our family, and how different our days would be without her. I am so thankful that God gave us this special, precious little girl...
She initially wanted to have a party in the snow at Ceres, then wanted to take everyone to Pringle Bay, then wanted to have another "God, Jesus and the Angels" party like last year, then a Jake and the Never land Pirates party...so eventually Bravheart and I decided we'd make a call, and loosely themed it around fairies! This was our most low key party in years, as I've been snowed under recently, but it was good for me to see how simple things can be such fun for kids!
We iced some fairy biscuits...
Played "fairy fairy pixie" (Belle's adaptation of "duck, duck, goose"!)
And a treasure hunt to find Belle's birthday cake which a bad fairy had stolen! Here they're trying their repertoire of magic words to open the gate ( it was "please!")...
And once thy had found their wands they could wave them and magically her cake appeared...and with another wave of their wand the cake became a rainbow one....
So filled with love for this special little lady...Happy Birthday my girl!
Oh, Karen I just love that picture of dad and his precious daughter......tears in my eyes! Special!!!!
