Around here birthday season opens on April the 17th and ends on May the 8th. Anna Lea's birthday is first. She turned 4 this year. I was hoping the terrible twos, wich have stayed with us through the threes would magically disappear, but they didn't. Though we have made some major steps of improvement, we are still working hard on self control when angry about something that doesn't go our way, and going to bed at bed time. Anna Lea has great manners, always remembering to say "Thank you" and "Your Welcome". She is also quick to give out compliments. For example, she told the lady in the bathroom at Target, "Your shirt is pretty".
We decided to do something a little different this year for the kids birthdays. In the past we have had one big party to celebrate everyone's births. This year we had a "Princess Party" for the girls where they were able to invite two friends each. Wyatt spent that day with Daddy on a backhoe they rented to play with for the weekend. I will do a separte post for these special events, because of the volume of pictures:)
We tried to make the actual day of our children's birthdays special as well with cupcakes, balloons, and a present or two. Below is Anna Lea's special day.
And this was BEFORE eating the cupcake!
Pop, Marmee, and chil'ren (Wyatt has recently grown a goatee:)
Excited to open presents!!
