Natalie's 4th Birthday

This sweet girl turned 4!

Natalie has been talking about her birthday since Brad had his in April.  She has talked about turning 4  so much that when you asked Luke how old he was turning in October, he would say "4".  Last year she wanted a Teenta-bell (Tinkerbell) birthday but at the last minute she changed it to a Princess party.  Well, she stuck with the Tinkerbell theme this year, and she insisted that we have it our house so her friend could see her room (such a girl request).  I thought we could put the kids outside with the bounce house and be fine, but it rained for 24 hours straight the day before the party, so we ended up with 20 or so 4 year olds running around in the house.  Natalie wouldn't have wanted it any other way, especially with her sweet friend Zoe right by her side.

 Natalie requested snow cones and a pinata.  It stopped raining long enough for us to have a pinata in the drive way (the grass was soaked), but I wasn't brave enough to have snow cones in the house.

such a cutie

We had a great time celebrating this special girl.  She is just so wonderful: caring, kind, gentle and loving.  She is the girliest of girls.  She loves anything pink or princess themed, and she appreciates the small things in life, especially lip gloss.  If you can't tell, she dressed herself for the party--again, the girliest of girls.  We adore her.  

Sidenote: James was present at the party, but he was off playing with Zoe's brother Evan.  He wouldn't stay put long enough to sneak a picture.
