Birthday Girl!

We can't believe it, but it's true! Sarah Grace is 4! This time 4 years ago I was in a hospital room eating Zaxby's with a room full of guests coming to see the new addition! What a great 4 years it has been, she's such a blessing! It's been a busy week of birthday festivities! :) It all started on Wednesday with a trip to the GA Aquarium where she got to get her own "license" (AKA season pass). We had a great time! We went with Krista and Payton and the girls (and their mommies) had a ball looking at all the fish! What a COOL place. Sarah Grace's favorite was the whale shark gallery, and her least favorite were the jellyfish. She screamed like she was being attacked when I strolled her up to the window!
On Wednesday night we made cupcakes for her school party on Thursday. I iced them and she sprinkled them. Each cupcake was for a specific person that liked a specific amount or color of sprinkles. :) She wanted a Barbie party, so we bought Barbie Princess plates and napkins and she chose lemon cupcakes with white icing and star sprinkles. When Adam and I showed up to school the next day for her party all the kids screamed when they saw us because they were so excited to have "birthday cake". The lemon cupcakes were a hit! They all devoured them and then attacked each other with the blow horns we gave them.
Then came the big day! Saturday January 13th... We had our family and friends over for her Ariel party. I think 80% of all her gifts were Little Mermaid! She was thrilled. It was a such a great day for a party, it was so warm. The kids were able to play outside & we were able to use the screened porch for lunch! After lunch she opened presents and was genuinely grateful for all of them. It was a feeding frenzy of little people all trying to "help" her open gifts. She wanted to open and play with everything right then! When it came time for cake she blew out all her candles... and then it was back outside for more playtime. Thanks to everyone that came, it was a great day!
