Sophia was recently invited to a glamour birthday party. You can not imagine the excitement leading up to this party. At the party they had their nails and toes painted and their hair done.

Sophia has become quite the little chef recently, helping to make many of the meals in our house. So, when it came to her dad's birthday she told me and Julie she wanted to make his favorite- pie. Being that I am always running around, Julie took this task on with her and they made probably the best apple pie I have ever had (with our hand picked apples from the apple farm)! Here are some photos of Cyrus's birthday; Sophia even has green paint on her neck from her daily painting project.

4- yes, 4. Wow, that was fast. In true Sophia fashion she described in great detail the type of party she wanted- a Little Mermaid one at the park with all her friends. So, that is what we had. Having just moved into our new house I was happy to oblige a less complex birthday party with ordered food & cupcakes. Sophia was thrilled. She had her friends, the park playground, BBQ (one of her favorite foods), a giant Ariel piñata filled with candy and sea animals & cupcakes. It was the perfect day topped off by lots of fun new toys, dress up clothes and all the things she loves. Thank you to everyone for coming and celebrating with us.
Her party was a great success, as was her actual birthday. She requested cake and mashed potatoes. That is what she had for dinner- in that order (it is only once a year, right?). She got lots of presents including a remote control car. She was in heaven with all the big girl toys and her new bedroom with mermaids floating on the walls. As you can tell, this is a girl who loves mermaids and sea animals. She categorizes sea animals by stinging and non-stinging ones and knows most of the genesis of them.

Last week was my birthday and by far the best part was Sophia baking me a birthday cake. She put all the ingredients into the mixer, poured the batter into the pan & then made the whipped cream frosting. She filled each layer with raspberry jam and fresh raspberries & then frosted it with whipped cream. She picked out the plates & when I came through the door she turned off the lights and sang me "Happy Birthday" with the biggest smile ever!
