Happy Birthday, Baylie!

Today is Baylie's fourth birthday. She has been SOOOOO excited for this birthday. I think it's the first year where she really understood that it's a special day all about her. All day yesterday she kept saying, "I can't believe that tomorrow is my birthday!"

She woke up first thing this morning and all she wanted to do was open presents. It was all we could do to make her wait until 9:00 a.m.

We were fortunate to have David's sister and her kids visiting. Our little niece Gracie's birthday is tomorrow, so we did a double party. I'm ashamed to say that we had cupcakes, ice cream, Rice Krispies treats and powdered donuts for breakfast. It was delicious!

Although the Rapunzel cake didn't look like the picture, I'm still quite proud of it.

Baylie is an absolute joy to have in our home. She is beautiful inside and out. And as you can tell by reading the funnies by Baylie column at right, she is smart and hilarious. Baylie loves to help. She is kind. She is the answer to all my prayers and I love her more than I could ever express in a blog.
