One She Will Always Remember

Birthdays are usually remembered by the party you have, the cake, perhaps a special present.

This year, Bug will remember her birthday as this...


the day she wiped her little sister's tears as she went to pre-school for the first time. 

It was precious.  Totally raw and unscripted.  And despite her sadness, my heart could not have been more full.  They have more love for each other (at least for now-I know!) and as a mom, this could not make me happier.  And even though it was Bug's birthday, this was the one of the best gifts I could have ever received.

Her first day at school was great day-she got to take in a special treat to share (which was followed by the candles and singing!), she got to wear a birthday crown all day, sit in the special chair during storytime, and got a birthday prize to bring home.  (The poor girl isn't going to know what to do with herself when it's just a regular day tomorrow!)...Here's a look into the rest of her birthday weekend celebration...

A great weekend with Aunt Kiki and Aunt Shannon

All dressed up & celebrating with Addie, Bug, Anna, & Kater-tot
(there were frog boots and a purse set aside in honor of a certain someone!)


Her traditional 'number' cake!

The only thing (other than a pony!) that she asked for...flowers...from dad.



We've got one happy 4 year old!
