Megan is 4!!

Megan's birthday was today!  She was so excited about her birthday.  Her face was just too cute when she woke up while Tim was walking in the door.  Immediately Tim starts singing happy birthday, and she just runs up to him with the biggest smile and hug! I think her smile lasted all day.  I love trying to really make birthdays special for my kids not with big elaborate things, but by purposing in my heart to spend more time with them and doing special things with them.  (I guess I should try to make every day more like that, huh?).  I took pictures all day to remember her special day.  (More pictures to come though b/c she is having friends over for another little party on Saturday!)

It started out with a few morning pictures of our birthday girl (You will have to excuse our morning hair and looks!)

Then on to breakfast...which was nothing special, just cereal!  After breakfast, I decided to do baths b/c Megan loves baths and playing with Emily during them. 

The girls watched a little Elmo while I hurried around the house to try to get ready to go to story hour at the library.

 Library hour was fun for Megan b/c she got to see her best friend Katy who had colored a picture for her!  Then we went to Nana's house for a little bit.

 

 Back home for lunch and naps for Emily and Anna.  During their naps, Megan and I made her cupcakes which she LOVED doing! 

 Megan then asked to play  a game and picked Candy Land.  She beat me fair and square!  We read our library books after that, and I let her watch PBS while I tried to get some cleaning done and the rest of my Bible study lesson done. 

 

We made a couple of signs to decorate our house with.  She wrote Happy Birthday on a sign copying the sign I wrote Happy birthday on.

  

As you can tell, I had to squeeze in the last "y" as she ran out of room.

When the girls woke up from their naps, we went to the park to enjoy some snacks and play! Nana went with us for the fun outing!

We had a little issue getting home as my mom's car wouldn't start. (Our van was in the shop getting the ac fixed so we had borrowed my mom's car.)  I had to wake Tim up to come by to jump us.  That didn't work, so he got mom's big blue van, and we moved all the car seats again! As you can tell the girls did not mind the delay.  They just played with the sand by the curb!

We finally got home and Megan, her friend Lexi, and Emily frosted the cupcakes.

Megan had requested pizza for her birthday.  I was going to make home made pizza, but decided that we would just order from Pizza Hut. 

Megan LOVED opening her gifts of course.  She loved everything she got.
