Fabulous 4 Year Old

Our baby girl turned 4  on July 10th.  I'm not really sure how that happened.  I really think she should still be a tiny baby or a little 2 year old toddler.  In fact though, she has turned into a smart, beautiful, vibrant, fun little girl.  For her first and third birthdays we had a pool party at the neighborhood pool.  For her second birthday we threw a big 60th birthday party for my dad and just kind of included her in that.  Each year there have been TONS of people and lots of fun too!  This year though, the home owners association limited the number of people we could have, so we kept it small.  We had her pick 8 friends to invite and kept it at that.  It was a great time!!  We had it at 10:30 in the morning on Saturday the 9th.  The pool wasn't at all crowded and everyone had so much fun swimming and playing.  We are so blessed to have such a great daughter, and she is lucky to have such kind, generous friends!!

I really wanted to keep everything simple this year.  We had pink lemonade (water and Capri Suns in the cooler), fruit, and pretzels

The goody bags were all pool/swim related things the kids could use while at the party.  Sunglasses, diving sticks, water balls, water balloons, etc.

The cake.  My friend Shirin made it.  It was exactly what Makayla wanted and tasted so good!

Haley, another friend from school.  She had her birthday party later that same day, we saw a lot of her Saturday!  It was great!
