My littlest girl turned 4 on the 23rd, I’m not sure where the time has gone. I remember just doing her 3 Year pictures and her 2 year pictures and her first birthday cake smash! and it does not feel like all that time has passed.

For her birthday she wanted her ears pierced and so we went and got them done on our way home from our little beach getaway. You’ll have to excuse the hair, like I said we’d been at the beach all weekend and in the car for 3 hours. She was a TROOPER! Not one whine, a little wince and then all smiles. She’s happy as a clam;)

We had her birthday party at our home for her friends that Friday and Severe thunderstorms were in the forecast. I was bummed but kept my fingers crossed and it was all ok! It was cloudy, but not hot and NO RAIN! Everyone had a great time and all Aubrey said all day was “I had so much fun!”, “I had a great day!” over and over. It made my heart happy to hear that afterall this was the first birthday party the girls ever had.

There aren’t a ton of party pics and I didn’t get a chance to photograph the final setup or the guest Thank You’s (water guns for the boys and flip flops from Kohl’s for the girls both were tied with mini candy bars in bright chiffon bags). It’s hard being mama/hostess/photographer! Maybe next year I’ll higher someone to document the day;)
