Get comfy, friends. This is going to be a long, long picture post. But that means, I probably won’t type too much! Lucky folks!

Our most favorite Johnsons have moved to Orlando. Big Sister was devastated that Skyler and Jada would not be here for her birthday. But we will see them soon. The ever so sweetly got Big Sis a present and she opened it on Friday. Wearing her Cinderella dress up outfit. She LOVES this Cinderella doll and thinks that her changing hair color is the most awesome thing ever. Thank you, Tiff & Jeremy, Skyler and Jada!!

A sweet card Big Sister’s nephews made for her. This is pretty extra special coming from boys!

Dress up clothes from her Aunt Jana and Uncle Paul and the boys

A houseload of people at her party. We got rained it. Candy land castle (aka the swing set) got rained on. Eeek. And I have no pictures.

Sneaking in a little extra candy before the cake and other candy. See that adorable woman in the corner?? That’s my sweet neighbor friend Steph. If you’re pregnant and going into labor, stop by her house for a quick pedicure. She’s awesome:)

Some of the kiddies getting ready for their nutritional dinner of hotdogs.

The cake. My most FAVORITE thing about the party things. Such a great job.

In the dining room we had the table set up with the candy bar. See those weird things? Yup, they are candy trees.

My sweetums being sung to. She was shy when we first started singing Happy Birthday, but she warmed up to it all.

She said, “There’s smoke on my birthday cake”

PawPaw getting some snuggles with Little Sister who was not feeling so well.

Lots of kids!

This little number is from Granny and PawPaw. Thanks, guys.

And then, again, we said goodbye to the Boppies. Again. But tonight? Well, tonight she has found another boppy. So that makes on in the Boppy Bear. Two that got sent to heaven to be given to a new baby girl. One in the bed, currently. Two that we found and have hidden to be thrown away. Who knows where there are more!?

I found this little cutie coloring with her new books and colors in an awesome tent from our favorite Grays. She loves this thing. In fact, we had our lunch in it today after church!

In more dress up clothes today. She loves loves loves to change every 2-3 minutes.

And then, just for fun, we put fairy wings on Little Sister. She’s a good sport.

We are tired in this house tonight! I am very thankful that J has tomorrow off from work! We need another day to get readjusted from having a three year old.

My heart aches a little that she’s growing up. But I praise my God for her every day and I love who she is becoming. I pray that the Lord will bless her, keep her and that she will always walk close by Him. For HE will never lead her astray. I pray that I will be a good mommy to her, a good example on the wife and mother she may become. That she will give my grace for my shortcomings and that she will be more like her Daddy than like me. I  am so incredibly proud of who she is and so happy to call her my daughter.
