I'm This Many!

For a few weeks after her birthday, Juliet wouldn't say her age but just hold up 4 fingers and say, "I'm this many!"  Hard to believe that on February 17 our sweet baby Juliet turned 4 years old!   I think four is a special age because kids start coming into their own with opinions, interactions with friends, activities, and in our case, dropping the daily nap (for the most part that is!).

Here's a look into how Juliet spent her birthday. Not a normal day, and not the birthday I exactly wished for her but overall, I think she enjoyed herself.

7:00 am Making muffins with little brother Rylan

8:00 am Checking out the snow!! (It was actually a few inches of accumulated icy snow, not the powdery stuff!)


And they wanted Sully in the picture too!


10:00 am All suited up to play in the ice snow!

11:00 am Just a little bit of school.  Learning the letter H and placing heart stickers on her H.

4:00 pm Skip ahead a few hours after she had laid down for a short nap (i.e. the pull-up) to find Juliet playing with a Dora toy

5:00 pm After I got Rylan up from his nap, Juliet decided she would crawl into the pack-n-play 

7:00 pm Special birthday treat: watching Disney's Brave for the first time.  This movie is only for big girls as there are a few scary bear scenes.

8:00 pm Beautiful cake made by Matthew

We all love cake time!

Juliet has very specific tastes: white cake with pink, purple and blue icing and Frozen on top

Daddy nailed it!

We love our birthday girl


So excited to open her presents: Elsa and Anna dolls

Her birthday celebration continued a few weeks later.  Her good friend Greta invited Juliet to join her and her husband Mark at his company's family "Frozen" night.  Juliet had a blast dressed as Elsa thanks to Greta.  Can you believe Greta had never seen "Frozen" before that night?  I think Juliet sang every song and probably recited most of the movie while watching it.  



We love you, Juliet, and are so excited to watch you grow in your love for your family, Jesus, everything pink and purple, "Frozen", and whatever else your sweet, silly heart finds to be wonderful in the days ahead!
