So here’s Rachael’s 4th Birthday cuteness in pictures. =)
my dear friend, Darlene, sent us this wreath to welcome home our Hannah. It has a clip on sign saying “welcome home Hannah” that can be replaced with this “happy birthday” clip on sign. Then the sign also has a clip attached to it and a name tag for each of the girls. SO thoughtful and super cute.
We started the weekend out with our intermediate family fun.
and we let Rachael struggle with Aunt Jes’ tape job. 😉
She didn’t complain once, especially post-gift.
Then on Saturday we had the family over to celebrate with a brunch and festivities:
our chefs.
our fine china via Rachael’s choice.
clown pancakes
making princess party hats (and knights for the boys)
pin the crown on the princess
pinata with strings (no we weren’t going to beat Ariel with a stick – that would have traumatized my kids)
the cutest little onlooker
And caked goodness. =)
with Daddy’s help again this year.
Then came the surprise slumber party with a friend that night. It was the first slumber party for Rachael and Josie both. =)
Watching a movie together WITH POPCORN!!! (simple excitements)
dance breaks during the songs, naturally
And then this happened:
=D
Wonderful time, indeed!
two favorite pictures from this series: the picture of James with his GORGEOUS hat, and this last one. the birthday even tuckered DADDY out! 🙂 lol
yeah… he’s a good Daddy to lay down with them to encourage them to finally give it up. They were so exhausted… and clearly so were we. 😉
