Willa turns 4.... time to party!

Willa is four and it was time to celebrate... ladybug style! Willa informed us a few weeks before her birthday that she would like to have a ladybug party and a ladybug party it was! Ladybug banners, ladybug plates, ladybug crowns, ladybug balloons, ladybug games, ladybug face painting, ladybug crafts and yes... real ladybugs for party favors!

Pizza night!

Willa set up a tea party for her stuffed friends... Adlai invited herself!


Pouring the tea...

A little book eating in the "cupboard under the stairs". Incidentally, that book is titled "Books are for eating"!


Stuck!

Willa and Olivia braving the weather just to get a little outside time


That's right... they match!


Opening e few presents on her actual birthday

Her new cell phone

This is what happens when Willa beats me to Adlai's room after nap!


Adlai got her very own swing for the playset for her birthday. She is a swinging fool just like her sister

 Doesn't it look like they just got caught doing something they shouldn't?
