LENA IS 4 YEARS OLD!!

Today, my sweet baby turned four. I really can hardly believe it. It seems like minutes have passed since she was first placed in my arms at 10 months old. We had a busy day celebrating all day. First we had a birthday breakfast. Then we opened gifts from just us. Then we hung out and relaxed for a while. After lunch, Macey napped while Lena and I ran to the store for cake, ice cream and balloons. Then it was time for the party! We had it at a place called Pump It Up and it was great! They were so helpful and nice. After the party, already wiped out, we had dinner at Grammy and PaPa's house. Finally, it was time to come home and get the girls to bed. I believe they'll sleep well tonight...

Here are some of my favorite shots of the day, a few courtesy of Jasmine's mom Nancy (thanks Nancy!). Sorry...there are a lot today! It's not everyday that your first baby turns 4. :)

Happy Birthday Lena!! What a great party and how cool that you got to start your day with a birthday donut. That just might be a new tradition in our household.
