Lucy's birthday

In some ways I can't believe that our sweet Lucy is already 4... and in other ways I can't believe that she is ONLY 4.  She is so full of life and personality... it just doesn't make sense how all that can fit in that little body.  She has the funniest sense of humor and definitely can hold her own.  We didn't do a whole lot for her birthday this year because it we were trying to fit it in a weekend that wasn't already busy!  We went to my parents house for that part and the weather was gorgeous.  Holly and her crew weren't there so it was pretty mellow.  Mom, of course, made a great cake for her that had little lego girls on there so she could have them for later.  They also got this Melissa and Doug Chef dress up with accessories that they thought was great!  She was pretty excited that there were balloons in the morning for her (they suspiciously look a lot like Jordyn's... haha) but she was happy about them nonetheless.  Ingrid had sent her a package with a bunch of stuff and she loved it.  She made her a headband, knitted a purse to match along with some sandals.  There was a stuffed animal that she had embroidered and a book.  Lucy thought she was hot stuff ;)  Our dear friend Jane gave her something too which was ever so sweet.  Some sidewalk chalk, Hello Kitty lipgloss! (She really thought she was cool now) and some coloring stuff.  I love that they are happy and content with simple things and that they don't seem entitled that they should have a big deal on their birthday.  We try to make them feel special every day but it is always nice to do a little extra on their birthday.
