(picture out of sequence, should be last) A separate birthday dinner with Grandma and Grandpa with a concert from Lit'Bit before dessert. They weren't able to make the party because Great Grandma was in the hospital. We missed them, but did enjoy this chance to have them all to ourselves for a special dinner. (Please pray for Great Grandma's swift recovery from her setback this month.) 
Here's our girl on her Birthday. We can't believe she's already 4! Does she look a little bit anxious in this picture???
This was why. A little story about a sneaky/giving/loving "Auntie Twinkles" - Since Lil'Bits birth Gr'Auntie Twinkles (my Aunt) has been wondering (pestering) about when she would get her ears pierced. Did I mention that Gr'Auntie Twinkles is a jeweler? We have always said that when Lil'Bit asked (and means it) she could have them done. So here's the Sneaky part. Gr'Auntie Twinkles gave Lil'Bit a pair of diamond ("twinkles" as we call them) for Christmas / her birthday. Funny how a pair of twinkles makes a girl wish she had some holes in her head to wear them in!
"Lil'Bit did it hurt?" - "It pinched a little, but it was worth it!" She didn't cry or fuss, just smiled and enjoyed the veiw in the mirror.
The Birthday Party!
Pizza for dinner. Eaten on her new picnic table from Aunt A, Uncle T and the cuz's.
Ripping into the reason why our basement was cleaned recently. When you give a girl a bike for her birthday, in January, providing a clear route to ride it around the basement is a necessary part of the gift.
Her cake- She was very specific about the kind of cake we should make for her. A lemon cake with strawberry filling, strawberry frosting, and strawberry and blueberry decoration. And since we had a little snowman theme going I make it into a snowman too.
Almost got them all out with one breath!
The gift from Memer and Grampa, her very own American Girl doll, along with a lovely wardrobe.
All the Cuz's! We made snowman crafts. My little project the week before the party was the snowman hats for all the kids.
