Sally's 4th Birthday

Sally had been counting down the days until she turned 4. I had been dreading them. Although I love seeing my sweet girl grow up healthy, its hard to see her getting bigger. 

No birthday breakfast is complete without doughnuts. I woke up early to get the best in Memphis...Gibsons!

I put up the birthday banner (Target $1 spot) and My Little Pont napkins :)

I ordered some My Little Pony balloons from etsy and had them filled with helium. I also set out her birthday presents on the table. She was so excited when she woke up and came down stairs. She absolutely loved the balloons and squealed when she saw the turquoise gumball machine. 

I sang Happy Birthday to her and she blew out the candles on her doughnut. 

She had a Valentines Party at school that day so she was dressed and ready to go. We celebrated her birthday at school earlier in the week with My Little Pony cupcakes. 

After school, she opened her presents from Mommy and Daddy. She got Ariel and her sisters (mermaids for the bathtub and pool) and Mary Ellen (American Girl doll). My dad gave her a few different outfits for Mary Ellen including pajamas and a poodle skirt.

I told Sally she could pick to go out to eat anywhere she wanted and she chose Chinese food :) I ordered the most perfect pink cake with sprinkles from Brown Baguette Bakery. It was so yummy! 

I got the neatest candle for her off Amazon. It was supposed to sing Happy Birthday too but I think that part was broken. 

She still loved it!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Sally!!

Valentines Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I'm not a huge Valentine person. I feel like you should show love everyday...not just on a certain day. That being said, I still like a chance to celebrate. 

Sally had her Valentine party at school on her birthday. 

We made little candy jars for her teachers. 

These were the Valentines that she passed out to her classmates. I think they turned out so cute. When we got home that day, she was so excited to look through her "mailbox" and see all the treats and cards that her friends had left for her.

The night before Valentine's day, we were supposed to have a date night. We had childcare set up and everything. She had complained all day of a tummy ache so we ended up staying in and ordering pizza. 

That night, she got sick and threw up in our bed...good times!! She still wasn't feeling herself on Valentines day, so we took it easy and I had to cancel the cute breakfast I had planned. 

I did give her some small gifts....My Little Pony headphones and Electric toothbrush, a cute card, a new pony and small box of chocolates. 

This is the card I made for Joe...inspired by the Walking Dead. The inside said "we turn together".

I got Joe a smoothie maker :) He got me a vintage Beatles album...love it!!

We pretty much took it easy all day and put Sally too bed early. Joe picked up Chinese take out, we watched Walking Dead (which was amazing!!), and ate a salted caramel chocolate square from Epcot. Perfection!!

Speaking of Walking Dead...CRAZY!! Probably the best episode ever!!
