The PARTY

We had her party on Sunday, May 22

from 2-4

at the "purple park" in Joplin. 

It was a beautiful day.

And I had no idea what the evening would bring.

but I will write about the joy of that day.

She was so proud to hold her thumb down and extent those four fingers.

Our baby girl.

She is a fan or Strawberry Shortcake

 Her cupcake tower donned red, green and of course, pink sweet treats

with a few little figurines

and four pink candles

The green and red cupcakes weren't exactly the shade I asked for

but everyone had a great time making a mess with the icing

ben and cousin A

Gpa Mickey

Poppy

It was windy and nearly impossible to light the candles

but Dad-O got it done.

We sang "happy birthday to you"

and then she blew

She opened her gifts

and with each tear of the paper she put on a show

proudly posing with each gift and thanking her guests profusely for her "favorite fring in da ho wide wurld"

She worked the crowd of friends that came to help her celebrate her day

being sure to make everyone feel appreciated for their attendance.

My sweet girl's FOURTH birthday party!
