May 8th! Faith Ann is FOUR! Happy Birthday to our sweet but sassy, sugar and spice, fabulous four year old! I let her sleep in my bed because she "wanted a cuddle when she was still 3!" How could I say no?? So, she woke me up bright and early on her birthday. Scott already snuck out to get sprinkled donuts for breakfast. Then, she got her purple bike from Parder! She rode it to take brothers to the school bus. She wanted "the bathing suits with the 2 parts." So, she did a fashion show with her new "2 part suits!!" I couldn't resist!
I let her pick anywhere she wanted for lunch. Just me and her! She wanted Hungry's! Good choice. We sat on the patio and talked for over an hour! She got "girl cheese sandwich and fruit!!" Girl cheese...haha, sweet girl! She brought her own dollar because she wanted to buy her very first Dr. Pepper!! She has never had one, so I figured it was a fun treat on our girls lunch! Then, we went home to get ready for her birthday party...RAINBOW PARTY of course! Her rainbow dress was perfection!
We set up in Ooh La La Cupcakes. An adorable bakery near our house. We decorated the back room FULL of rainbows. The rainbow popcorn, boas, banners, plates, cupcakes! There were 15 kids....mostly girls! Each kid had rainbow scratch color paper. Then, we made bracelets. Then, ate the HUGE rainbow cupcakes. Faith Ann couldn't decide which one she wanted...so she got both!!!
Her party was on her actual birthday, which was a Tuesday. So, Scott took off work early to get the boys off the bus. Then, the party was just an hour long. It was so perfect, colorful, sweet and simple. After cupcakes, I gave each kid a coin bag. We wrapped up in our rainbow boas...took our coin bags then went on an adventure! We walked to all the water fountains in Town and Country (just down the sidewalk.) All the kids made wishes, and threw the coins in the fountains. We called this "over the rainbow wishes!!' It was SO adorable to listen to the kids wishes. Hunter and Trent were in the middle of it all! Then, the kids all ran in the green space until the moms came back for pick up. It was the most amazing rainbow party ever. Faith Ann was soooo happy!
She was such a hoot! However, she is going through a "shy" phase where she doesn't like to be the center of attention. Weird...considering she poses like a DIVA for pictures! She cries every time I drop her at church child care or even drop her at a friends house. Once I leave, she bounces back in no time. But, drop off is kind of dramatic! I know, it's a phase!! This too shall pass! She is full of spunk, confidence all the other 99.9% of the time!
Faith Ann is SOOOOO sweet! Her teachers are always telling me how kind she is. How gentle and thoughtful she is. She makes me so proud. She is the perfect blend of everything I ever wanted in a little girl. She is funny, kind, patient, understanding, tough, gentle, girly, rugged, spunky, shy....literally, she is a mix of all things amazing! She is also an amazing friend! We have many best friend memories ahead...this is just the start! Happy Birthday to my dream girl!
