Audrey's Once Upon A Time Rainbow Party...

Well, Audrey's 4th birthday party has come and gone, and hopefully it was worth the wait for her! Many of you know that we have been talking about her party for months, I bet since right after Christmas. She was changing the theme she wanted on a daily basis and driving me a little batty (yes, I kept asking her, that part was my fault)... She was in between a pirate, princess, ballerina, you name it theme and one day announced she wanted a rainbow party as well. So, we ended up with a Once Upon a Time with a Rainbow Color scheme. Wasn't sure how I was going to pull that one off but it came together pretty well. She had a girls only party again which I think all of her friends enjoy. There were 11 of them all in party dresses, too cute. The only down side of the party was the weather, it rained on and off the entire party. But I set everything up inside and it worked alright. It stopped raining long enough for us to do a scavenger hunt outside which was nice and the girls had a lot of fun with. The party ended with cupcakes and tons of other sugary treats (marshmallow pops, oreo balls, ice cream, etc), the best part of a party right? Now I get a couple of months off before we need to start talking about her next party... Thank goodness we have a couple of holidays in between...

Birthday Week...

So we just finished with Audrey's "birthday week" and I have to tell you I am exhausted! It was a lot of fun but all good things must come to an end and I am not overly upset about it... She had a fabulous week, got a ton of awesome gifts (thank you everyone!) and consumed more sugar than I care to admit. Her party was yesterday and other than it raining, I think it was a success... I'm working on the pictures from it, I will post soon. You can probably see there was a rainbow theme going on this year:)

She got a big girl bike from mom and dad (and cute dress from Grammy & Pappa:)... Can someone tell me why they can't make a bike that is just plain pink or purple or whatever? Why does there need to be all the crap all over all of the little girl bikes???

4 Years Old...

Somehow my baby girl turned 4 years old yesterday, where on earth does the time go???? As many of you know, Audrey has been talking about her birthday since after Christmas, so there was a bit of lead up to the actual day. She had a day full of parties and sugar - what more could you ask for?? She started off with her last day of pre-school, then had a party at daycare then came home open more gifts and have cake and ice cream with her good friend Izzie and her family. She went to bed last night asking if tomorrow is her birthday too... I had to break the news that it is over (thank god!) but that her party is on Saturday... Should be a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Audrey Elizabeth! May you look forward to every birthday like this one!
