Caroline's 4th Birthday!

Our little Caroline has turned four. This birthday was all about big excitement for Caroline since she "gets" birthdays now but a little bittersweet for me. This is the last "little" birthday. The next will be her entry into being a big kid. As always, we embraced the day for all of its birthday magic and had a blast. Caroline woke up and decided she wanted Cream of Rice cereal. I decided to make it a little special and put some sprinkles in there. Then we hung out until it was time to Skype with Gramma and open presents. After Skyping with Gramma we played with her new toys and I did some more birthday party for Sunday. When Daddy got home we got ready and headed to the Steakhouse, followed by cake and ice cream at home. Oh, and more presents :)
Our sweet little girl has grown into a remarkable little lady. She is funny and kind, smart and strong. She makes us laugh and never ceases to amaze us. We love her very much and can't wait to see what her fourth year has in store for us! 

 Wearing her crown she got from school while she enjoys her birthday breakfast

 George could feel the excitement and woke up early! 

He was finished with his breakfast so he played while we ate

 Skyping with Gramma

George napped so we were able to chat without interruption

 She was so so so excited!

 

 The UPS man brought George a gift too, 

the "Mega seat" for larger babies haha

 Jumping for joy!

Too cute! 

 About as good as we can get of a family of four picture :)

It's actually our first!?!?!?!

 George behaved himself so Caroline could have a nice dinner

 Caroline's Bitty Baby which she named "Mulan Grace Lovejoy"

I think she'll be changing it though !

"Happy Birthday" to me!

 Her royal highness in her finery

She thought it was a cape so it should flow behind her

She ran around and it didn't work, so she thought maybe she 

could get more speed on the tricycle :)

 George finally had to let the "bad" out

Bitty Baby and Caroline asleep!
