Friendly is FOUR

This post is almost an entire month late! August was a blur of projects- and while we did slow down to celebrate our Birthday girl- it was extremely busy busy busy time and I haven't had a chance to sit down and share our celebrations.

First they helped Daddy bake the cupcakes. Roo is an expert egg cracker!

Friendly is an expert egg beater!

Pip is an expert batter eater. 

Friendly insisted for a month before her birthday she wanted CHOCOLATE cupcakes with PINK STRAWBERRY frosting... Daddy whipped them up (gluten free, corn free, dairy free amazingness!) and they were INCREDIBLE!!!

Our celebration was small. Just us and Nana (my Mom), but we sang loudly to our birthday girl and she blew out her candles!

Precious.

Blowing out her candles

She got FLIP FLOPS for her Birthday. This child LOVES shoes- any kind.

What a THRILL her VERY own big-kid scooter!!!

We took it outside to try it out!

Pip chases! She wanted a turn!

And then we surprised Roo with a matching scooter!!

The pip enjoys her bike. 

It is hard to believe that four years with Friendly in our family has flown by SO fast!

Such a bright communicative baby!

This past year has been such a treasure and a gift! She has grown and changed SO much in the past year.
