Lydia turned 4 on Thursday! We had a great day! For breakfast I made flower pancakes...

We went to story time at the library. We were thrilled to see a lady from the zoo had come and brought some visitors! We got to pet a leopard salamander, a chicken, and a boa constrictor! Very cool, but sorry, no pictures.

Luckily the weather was just gorgeous!

Isaac likes to tap on the front of his swing and say "Oosh! Oosh!" when I'm not pushing him enough.

Lydia got a neat pioneer ensemble from Oma. So fun.

Isaac even liked the bonnet.

We had our wonderful Bucks over for cake and ice cream. Something small. I was not wanting to do a party yet. The idea of having the whole Sunbeam class running around my house was not appealing. (Oh and that crown was a fun quiet time activity. A foam crown at Michael's for $1 and some markers and you're set for a good time!)

But let's talk about this cake! I remember my mom making me a doll cake when I was little and I knew Lydia would just love it. And she did, but I think I had way more fun with it!. It was like getting to design a ball gown all myself! Soo cool! Those are blueberries on her dress...The finished product:

Thanks to everyone who sent their love and etc. We are so blessed to have a sweet, beautiful, and smart little girl. Who is growing up way too quickly. :)
