Happy Birthday! I have a FOUR Year Old!

Wow! Sunday was Keara's birthday. It was sad to not have friends and family to celebrate with (Shaun's family was out of town), but we had a great weekend. Since her birthday was on a Sunday, and a fast Sunday at that, we celebrated most of it on Saturday.

We started with pancakes...apparently a family tradition. Her's, of course, were number 4 pancakes, as per her request.
We kept saying we were celebrating her last day as a three year old, so here she is showing herself as a three year old. The next day, she showed us how tall and strong she was, how much she had grown, how fast she could run, how high she could jump, how well she could hold Avery...because now she was four.

We went to this awesome indoor playground called Edinborough. So fun. It had the most awesome play structure, about 4 or 5 stories high (not building stories, but tree house stories). It was a total workout and so fun to play with the girls. Braden and I took turns staying with Avery Goose.
Keara got in a pretty bad mood, so she wouldn't smile, let alone look, at the camera, but here's proof that we were there.
Then we went into the "Great Hall" which is just a big gym with padded walls and a bounce house. They have these awesome little chairs that are on wheels that you can push around, or these great hand bikes. I was so impressed that Keara got it so well but then SO surprised that Taryn did it too!That night, we put all the balloons we had in our house in the girls room for when they woke up.
Keara was so excited to open presents. I love her innocence. She got 2 dresses and 3 shirts from Grandma, a book, game, and tutu from us.
This dress came with a mini dress for a doll.
My beautiful four year old. Doesn't she look so grown up (especially compared to that picture when she was ONLY three years old) :)
She let Taryn wear her other dress. Two beautiful girls.
Happy birthday Keara! You are such an incredible little girl. I love having you as my helper, playmate, companion, and friend. I love you!
