Annabelle's 4th birthday celebrations

As usual, Annabelle’s birthday celebration lasted several days.

The day before (St. Patrick’s day) she had her party at school. Miss Linda read some short paragraphs about each year of her life while Annabelle with the earth circled the sun.

	Then on her actual birthday we went for pictures. Once again they turned out so fantastic I cried. I just love this girl.
	We went to McDonalds for lunch then home. Nate couldn’t wait to give her his gift and she was very patient at letting him help open the Cinderella doll.
	Then we went outside to play and take pictures on this glorious 72 degree day.
	After a bit we decided to change clothes and go to the playground. The first thing Annabelle wanted to do was climb her Everest that she had been afraid of last year.
	Then we met Aunt Karen for a pizza dinner. We had a Cinderella cake.
	The icing was very blue.
	The next day was our Princess party with friends and cousins. All the kids made crowns.
	We had a crown shaped cupcake cake with Princess figurines that lit up.
	As the day wore on different family members were in and out. Jeremy arrived right as the kids were finishing up the crowns, he made one and kept it on all day. What a good sport.
	Nate says “Real men can pull off pink”
	All in all, a lovely way to turn 4
