Happy Birthday Lucy

Yesterday this little girl turned FOUR.
Has it really been four years since we went
I still remember that day so fondly. Everything went well and the process was just....well....pleasant. I'm so glad this little girl came into our lives.
She's imaginative, smart, clever, loves to dance, loves to smile, tries to make friends wherever she goes, she's not much of a cuddler like Owen but gives me the sweetest hugs and a kiss on the cheek, she loves her brother, she loves her dad, she has an opinion, and she finally gets excited about new clothes (PHEW).
For her big day we took cupcakes to school. The mini ones that are just right for little hands (and means that I can eat 6 of them and not feel so bad about it):
The rest of the day we just played at the house and when Casey came home we had a little party, just the four of us. I've been trying to put off a huge party till she really understands it. And I'm sure next year will be the year. She was really excited about her birthday this year though, especially when I told her we'd have a little party at our house. On Sunday I heard her ask Owen, "Owen, will you be coming to my party tomorrow?"
I sure hope so. He's 33% of the guests!

There were plenty of pink wrappings (it's nice having a bday around Valentine's Day). And inside them were all sorts of princess necklaces, bracelets, and dresses. Ever since my parents gave her a Princess Tiana dress for Christmas, the thing rarely comes off.
So now she has a new Belle dress to add to the rotation! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Willard. Lucy, your grandmas seem to know just what you need.
From me and Casey she also got a Cinderella dress (which was worn for 12 hours straight today. Not sure how she does it. That thing is so itchy. Fashion over comfort):
And then I found this awesome dollhouse at a local Thrift Store. She's been wanting a "castle" for her princesses so I thought this would work perfect. It can house all of her figurines:
And it came with furniture too!
Though some of the furniture looks it never went with this house to begin with, it's still very cute.
Both kids have been playing with it all day long.
We sang Happy Birthday to Luce (in her Cinderella dress and with her Cinderella candle). And then we feasted on these really sad looking brownies. Mom was an idiot and frosted it while they were still hot. It used to say "Lucy is 4". Oh well. Still tasted yummy.
Happy Numero Quatro Luce Goose!
We sure do you love you.
