Birthday Girl!

Eliza turned four years old today! I can't believe she is getting so big. She said today, "I will never be three again." When she put it that way it made me sad. But so far we have had a great day with our birthday girl.

Russell made her heart shaped pancakes with a candle this morning for breakfast. Here she is making a wish. And yes that is chocolate syrup on the pancake-we are very healthy at our house.

I think she took three bites. But she was happy.

Aunt Becky made her this Cinderalla birthday cake. It was perfect and Eliza loved it. Next to the cake is her pony pinata. She was way excited about it.

Here is a closer look at the Cinderella cake. Didn't Becky do a great job? I stuck four candles in her dress and Aiden thought it was hillarious that her dress was on fire.

She had a birthday party this morning with 9 of her friends. It was fun and wild. Here are the kids scrambling for candy after the pinata was smashed. We played a lot of fun games, opened presents, had heart shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cake and ran around like crazy. Eliza has been playing with her toys all afternoon and while Jack was taking a nap she requested that Russell and I watch Nacho Libre with her. I was laughing at one part and she said "this isn't funny-it's exciting!" Speaking of Nacho- Uncle Layne made her a Nacho Libre soundtrack on cd and she has listened to it twice already. Thanks Layne!

She has been talking about her birthday for six months now and I am glad that she is happy.
