Happy Birthday, Maelyn!

My big girl turned 4 years old yesterday. I cannot believe how big she is getting and how quickly the past two years have gone by, but I am loving all of the four year old fun we have been having together. This age is such a blast!!

Our family got together to celebrate Maelyn's birthday and Maelyn was very excited for her 'birthday cake' -- I cannot convince her that it is called a birthday party.

In the past, Maelyn hasn't shown much interest in opening gifts. On Saturday, however, she really got it and was very, very excited for her party.




Our family loved watching her open gifts -- especially when her reaction was absolutely precious. She would say an unprompted thank you for each gift, shouting, 'Thank you, everybody!'

After opening a few gifts, she declared with a sigh, 'Now I have everything!'

It was a moment I won't soon forget. I watched my daughter truly enjoy her special day and feel very loved by her family.




Showing off her new shades...


Checking out the reflection of her new sparkly shoes in the fireplace...


Enjoying her new outdoor playhouse...


Rockin' out with her new microphone from Auntie Kara, Uncle Cam, and Ian...



Singing to Glee songs...

 
Happy Birthday to our sweet, independent, confident, loving and precious four year old. We love you very much!
