I can hardly believe how grown up she looks! I love your smile, Carolina Girl!

Melania's 4th Birthday - December 5, 2009

Happy 4th birthday, Melania! We woke up to presents for the girls. Melania, of course, loved the Princess wrapping paper. What is it?

New outfits?? I remember as a kid getting clothes (boring, in my opinion) for my birthday and "toys" for Christmas (much more to my liking)! Anyway, I plan to continue the tradition - sort of...

Ok, so the pants were a little huge. This just means they will fit next year, too.

Mishayla just was not quite as happy as the birthday girl.

I was able to outsmart blogger (for the most part) on this post. However, this picture is out of order. This is lunch, after a trip to Mountie Moose Bakery for doughnuts with sprinkles...

Can you sense the general level of enthusiasm?

So, back at the bakery...

Why eat the doughnut if you can just enjoy the chocolate frosting and sprinkles?

In addition to her new outfit, Melania received a Cinderella Princess Barbie. She'd been wanting one for a quite awhile. So, you see, toys aren't just for Christmas anymore!

After naps, it was time for brownies...

and candles!!!!

Then, on Sunday, we celebrated Melania's birthday again (because you just can't have to many celebrations when you are four) with all of her family.

Happy Birthday, Carmen!

My sister, Carmen, had a "surprise" party last year for her birthday. Hope this year is just as special!
