My Sweet Little Angel

My second precious angel turned four! Here is how it all went down...

The theme: Fancy Nancy

The cake: (HUGE shout out to Susie--SHE ROCKS! And Daddy too! Without their help it would not have been nearly as "fancy.")
The favors:The guests:

And that was all just for the first party. Friday night we had a celebration with family including Nana, Papa, Grandma, Aunties Ang, Nini, Manda, and Susie and ALL of the Whitmill cousins. On Saturday we did it all again, but much more "fancy" this time around. Same theme, same cake, same favors (and then some), and then there were the...

fancy faces (everyone got "made up" upon arrival:

crafts (a fancy purse, fancy pen, and fancy wand of course!):

and fancy guests: Tori, Sophie, Kylie, Kate, Caitlyn Marlee, Lizzie, and Brayden (not in picture).

On Sunday we celebrated her actual birthday! She had a donut and a Slurpee for dessert. She gets a Slurpee every year from her Uncle Ty since she was born on 7-11. He never forgets. Since it was Sunday he even remembered and dropped it off Saturday night. It kept surprisingly well in the freezer! I gotta admit...it is a really special thing to have somebody remember such a silly thing, but do it every year for my little one. Thanks Ty for caring that much about my angel!

Happy birthday my sweet Lizzie! I hope it was just what you wanted!

Some things that I want the world to know about my sweet angel:

She shares everything--on her terms. As long as you say please she will give you pretty much anything, even if that means she goes without. SHE IS SO SWEET!

She is VERY tender! She is like her Mommy--or at least how Nana describes Mommy--a child of extremes. She is either very happy or very sad, not much in between. When she is very happy the world knows it and can't help but be happy too. When she is not happy...well...WATCH OUT!

She is her own person. She doesn't care what anybody else likes, eats, or wears. She makes her decisions and sticks to them. I am hoping that this will continue and serve her well as she grows.

She is hilarious! She says the funniest things and constantly makes our family laugh. One thing is for certain...our life as a family is MUCH happier with my Lizard in it!

I'm so glad she finally went for the fancy Nancy theme. It turned out SO cute! Can I hire you and Tom to make Mar's cake next week?
