Sarah's birthday finally came!

Sarah has been not-so-patiently waiting for her birthday since Gideon had his birthday -- last September!!  She asked me pretty much every other day if it was her birthday yet, so it was a long wait for her and for me!  Her day finally came today and she was pretty excited!  It has been a great week already for her as she had the primary sing to her on Sunday, and then all her preschool friends sing to her yesterday in class.
Sarah requested chocolate smoothies for breakfast and enjoyed hers in a fancy cup!

 Sarah and Becky have become really good little playmates lately -- I love that they love each other so much!
 We had a little party this morning with her cousins -- glad she didn't notice that there was only one candle and not 4!


 We had a fun table-full of little guests!
 What girl doesn't love a new pair of shoes!
And a new dressing table as well.  It was hard to get a good picture of it with the crowd of kids.  All in all it was a great birthday.  I just hope that she doesn't start asking about her next birthday anytime soon!   Sarah has been such a fun little girl and we are always on our toes trying to keep up with her.  She loves to go to school and is learning to love Sunbeams.  She is actually really good as long as I am not in the room, which doesn't work so great when I am trying to teach the primary during singing time.  Fun times!  Sarah loves to snuggle at bedtime, and is trying really hard to learn to stay in her own bed all night.  Sarah loves to laugh and loves playing with Gideon and her older sisters too.  Sarah can tease and torment with the best of them, and is starting to communicate a little better too.  We sure love having her in our home -- it wouldn't be the same without her!

So fun that Sarah could have so many cousins come for her special day!
I must admit that you have my interest peaked........hot chocolate smoothie?!?! Do tell what is in that ;)

It was just a fruit smoothie with a shot of chocolate syrup -- not hot. Usually we just have the fruit without the chocolate, so it was a treat!
