How To Turn 4

Wake up and measure yourself against your sister's bunkbed ladder to see how much you grew overnight.

Dress yourself in something suitable.

Preferred ensemble:  red and green skirt, black tights, gold shoes, birthday girl teeshirt, pink hairbow.

Oblige Momma with some pictures and lots of kisses and hugs

Enjoy 2 cups of hot chocolate and extra whipped cream at your "special birthday breakfast".

Begin opening gifts.  Pace yourself.  It's a long day.

Crawl under the table to pose for a picture with Grandma and beloved cousin Angie.

Share scrambled eggs with baby sister. 

Go home and take a nap!

Pick up big sister from school and wait by the garage.

What for?

Receive totally awesome gift from Daddy and Momma!!

Crack that infamous "meatball" grin.

Grab your shades and best baby and hit the sidewalk!

Cruise on over to the park and pick up some neighborhood friends.

Push your cousin on the swing.

Make your Momma tear up a bit while she wonders where the last 4 years went...

Coo at baby sister.

Giggle at handsome cousin.

Let little kids take your new wheels for a spin.

It's rather unlikely they will go very far...

Practice soccer with Daddy for a bit and join Grandparents for zebra birthday cake!

Consider the deliciousness of icing with Auntie...

Enjoy a warm shower with big sister, snuggle into new birthday jammies and find your smile under your pillow! 

And that's how you turn 4!
