Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one

Eva celebrated her fourth birthday this past Saturday night. I was with her before the event and was by her side as she nervously watched for her guests to arrive. Her mommy let her pick out what party dress to wear and how to do her hair, it was going to be a fabulous party!

Guests came from near & far, some even bringing their silkiest of all Bears. The buzz of excitement filled the air.

Princess Marian enraptured all with her tales of daring rescues by brave knights.

Moving beyond the tea, this was a "decorate your own cupcake" party, too. Christina started out slow, but don't be fooled, she got progressively more aggressive as the candies passed by.

This is what I like about Emma. Emma's full-out. Whatever she does, it's full-out. It didn't take long for her cupcake to have every treat offered piled on.

... here's my favorite part . . .

-

she graciously signaled Alexa that she (Alexa) had a little sump-sumpthin' on her nose. Very discreet & all, like "Pssst, Lexi, might wanna wipe that bit of icing off your nose..." Look at Lexi. She's thinking: "Y'gotta be kidding me. Look at the icing on your own face, sister."

The girls loved playing in the doll house with Eva's new doll house furniture.
