The BIG 4!

Saturday was the big day for Chloe--she turned 4 years old. She has been eagerly anticipating her birthday and her birthday party. Chloe has convinced herself that 4 is what it is all about...and for the time being, she right.

Chloe's party was at 11 a.m. at our local cooking school. We had 15 children attend the party. Since Chloe's favorite meal is pasta, the two instructor's had the kids make their own spaghetti lunch. The children were divided into two groups and one group made the pasta and the other group made the sauce. While the meal was cooking each child got their own cupcake and got to spread the purple icing and sprinkles as they liked. Then the meal was served and all was quet for a few minutes anyway.

The party was great and seemed to go well. Chloe had a fantastic time and appeared to be tiring out from all the excitement and energy towards the end.

When we got home Chloe was eager to rip into her presents, so she opened her bounty. Chloe received lots of great gifts and it was very hard to pinpoint which was her favorite. Her top three appear to be her ride-on Vespa scooter (child's toy, not the real thing) that Matt and I gave her, her Razr scooter from PaPaw and BeBe and third, a glow in the dark t-shirt given to her by her Aunt Deanna. All her gifts were fabulous and she plays with all of them, which is great news. Now, if I could only clear out the dining room of her bounty....

A successful and happy party comes to a close.
