My Baby Is 4 Today!!!!

Well, today is Riley Whee's 4th birthday!!!! Well, not officially until 8:18 tonight but you know...hey...a mom can want her baby to stay 3 for a few more hours if she wants!!!!

I want to copy April and do a really good post after her party this weekend. Mine won't be nearly as impressive as little Simon's but I want to commemorate her big day with a few pictures from each of her birthday parties including this one.

I am throwing the party together so quickly that I am not even sending out invitations. If any of you want to swing by this Saturday at 2:00 to take part in our Luau you are more than welcome to come! The more the merrier!!!! Food, leis, and grass skirts for everyone. I really LOVE the Dollar Tree!!!! I got great, very cheap decorations and now all I have to do is order the cake tomorrow and pick up balloons and the cake the day of the party.

She is so excited about being 4 now!!!! I woke her up singing happy birthday to her and as I was carrying her down stairs she told me she feels bigger today....and that now she can pick Samuel up. (Not quite that easy being that he outweighs her by 3 pounds.) She also had a great little party at school and basked in the glow of all of the attention. The birthday crown delighted her, she got to sit in the "big" chair during her party, Jamey and I took her out to a special lunch while Sam was at grandma's house and fun was had by all.

I really hope the weather cooperates this weekend...the good thing about not sending out invitation is if it rains on Saturday I can move it to Sunday with just a few phone calls if need be...I really don't want to have it on Mother's Day but I will if I have to. I will be there with my kids, Jamey's mom with be there, my mom will be there with my brothers, sister in law and nephews so all of the moms will have their kids and grand kids so it will end up being a great day even if we have to have it on Sunday...it can be a double party.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, rainy Monday today!!!!
