I can't believe it.
She's FOUR.
Wow.
Somedays I just look at her in disbelief. She's so big now. I'm forgetting her baby-hood. I have to go back and look at pictures to remember how small she was. I want to scoop her up and ask her to never get a year older.
Her imagination is on fire. Her emotions run high. She has A LOT of love to give. She is the sweetest little girl, like, ever.
I am so proud to be her mother. You know what? I can't believe that I AM her mother.
In the past couple of days since her birthday there have been times when I look at her and I see a "mini-me". It is the strangest feeling ever.
Ugh. Enough about that stuff. I'm getting all verklempt.
On to the party!!!
The day before her party, Katie helped me make her "birthday treat". She requested chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and with a little help from Martha Stewart, I delivered. There was a lot of cocoa in dem dere cupcakes.
We held the party at Katie's favorite park. Lots of her preschool buddies came out to celebrate her big day with her. She picked "Star Wars" as her party theme. Ahhhhhhh, chip off the ole blocks. Yes, even the nerd in us seems to have been passed on to our children. And believe me when I say don't get her started on World of Warcraft.
The kids enjoyed the cupcakes and after the gift unwrapping we packed it up. Mikey was SO done and it was getting close to 90 degrees. So, we went home and Katie continued the present unwrapping.
The rest of the birthday weekend was spent at a water/amusement park and then we went camping in a cabin for two nights. I don't know how we are going to top that next year.
And so now we are the parents of a four year old AND a one year old. There's a lot of old going on around here.......
