Our Little Princess turns 4

On September 18 our firstborn turned 4 years old. It is difficult to imagine a life without our funny, sensitive girly girl. She is growing into such a little lady- so smart and imaginative, responsible and caring. There was no way for me to know just how much she would love anything princess and sparkly, dresses and even nail polish. Did you see the clip on earrings? Where did the love of this come from? I just pray that as her parents we can raise her with a love and wisdom of inner beauty and godly character. I love her now more than I could have imagined, and am so grateful for every day we get to share.


To have a little celebration, we had two families over for dinner and fun. From left to right is Esther, Maddie and Abigail. Gracie did not want to get in the picture, but they all have fun together and are in the same class at church on Sundays.

My attempt at making a "castle cake." I did not find the food coloring that I thought I had to make pink frosting, so we went with red and white. Also, you cannot see it, but I had to prop this thing up in the back with several random objects to get it to stay upright. We had fun in the process of making it, and I do think Esther still thought it was totally cool... until we went to Albertsons and saw THEIR castle cake... =)

Happy Birthday, sweet girl. We love you very much.
