Karis opening gifts with all her friends help!
You can see some of her adult friends here, Noah being held by dear Mrs. Nancy, and Mr. Jeff, Karis' Sunday school teacher, standing in the background.
For her fourth birthday, Justin and I gave her her first Bible, an ESV Children's Bible. It was her special present. She was very excited about taking it to church on Sunday.
Family picture, thanks Michelle for Karis' dress, it is very cute. I didn't mean to coordinate Noah and me with Karis so well, maybe Justin should have worn pink!
Karis' birthday cake and cupcakes.
This was probably the easiest cake I have made and decorated so far, it was very small, thus the cupcakes too!
Karis waiting to blow out the candles.
Karis and the kids playing her new game: Cootie.It was a great day of fun and celebrating. We started the morning with waffles, which Karis got to eat on the "Special plate." We then played and called the grandparents on the computer to let Karis open her gifts while they watched. Then, we took her to eat at Chick-fil-A, upon her request. Her party was at 1:00pm, and lasted for awhile. After nap, we had green pasta, broccoli, and bread for dinner, also upon her request. When we set down to eat Karis said, "I don't like green pasta." Imagine that, a girl who changes her mind!
Thank you to all our family and friends for celebrating with us and making Karis' 4th birthday so special.

Wish we could have been there...it looks like a lot of fun! I am so honored that she wore the dress we gave her at her party! And Sam got Cooties for Chistmas and loves to play it too...he tries to rig his dice rolling though...it's pretty funny! somehow he nearly always wins!
Oh and don't you love when they request something to eat and then once it is set before them they announce "no thank you." ah, the joys of being a mom of preschoolers! ;) Miss you friend!
Your cake looks soo yummy! What a great idea with the cupcakes, good job :)
What a good job on the cake and cupcakes! Looks like she had a great time. 4??? Wow..it seems like yesterday she was 2.
yay for the cake- it looks wonderful. i was thinking about the day she was born... bethany was so excited! i'm so glad that ya'll had a wonderful time celebrating.
and don't worry- sarah jane is always the first to say, "thank you mama for the din-ner" and then in the next breath she will say "me NOT like this food." at least Sam says no thank you! we're working on that- or even, I don't care for this food. at least she's appreciative! love you-
A great family picture!! And good job on the cake!
