Channing is 4!!

This last week our little girl turned 4! She was so excited and ended up being the birthday diva I figured she would be ;) Everyone or anything revolved around her "because it's my birthday". Towards the end of the day we had to adjust that theory a little as she started getting bossy and cranky. Overall I think she had a great day and I hope she felt loved and special!
She started her day off with our traditional donut!

She opened one of her presents really early because I wanted her to be able to wear it to her tea party with her friends.

She got her Sophia dress and amulet that she has been begging us for. At 10:00 I let her invite 4 friends over for a tea party play date. They came dressed up and were adorable. 4 is so far one of my favorite ages with my kids.

Cheyanne came dressed as Pocahontas and I was proud of her. She is not one to dress up so I was grateful she indulged Channing's birthday wish.

Jane is a cute curly hair Elsa :)

Channing was so excited as her friends showed up!

Kenzie was dressed up as Cinderella.

We started by decorated our princess crowns.

Then we went to a balloon game! 

Then it was time for making jewelry!

.....The tea party! Deacon got to be their prince and join in.

Next was presents!

Here are all the sweet girls who made Channing's day special. I didn't get a picture of just Mallory and Channing because that girl can craft! She hardly left the table ;)
After her party we rested before her family party began and her Aunts and Grandma and cousins came.

She got to play with her sweet cousin Charlotte who we are so happy moved here this week!

Everyone was drenched with sweat from the trampoline!

Pizza party!

 Such sweaty kiddos!

I am so glad they will have cousins close to enjoy celebrations with.

Present fun!

Pink cupcakes!!

We sure love this little orange headed girl. She adds a lot of "flavor" to our family. She loves Sophia the first, Frozen, puzzles, playdoh, coloring/painting, and being the best boss ever! She loves to help me clean and never lets me do something without offering to "help". She is very logical and can already talk back pretty successfully. She does not like to be dirty, but loves to make sure everything is in its proper order. She will not go to bed without flossing (lesson for her mother ;)) She loves to sing and sing and sing and talk and talk and talk. Her poor brother is ready for a different roommate as she hates when he falls asleep before her so she yells his name to try and wake him up and wakes him up in the morning when she does...which is early for our early riser. She doesn't love naps which is new for me since all my kids napped until kindergarten. She still will do it pretty often but definitely doesn't need as much sleep as her siblings. When we go somewhere she will often ask me why someone is doing something that doesn't make sense...half the time I wonder myself. She does not like her hair to be called red..it is orange. She is a sassy little thing, but fairly obedient and we sure do love her. She keeps things interesting. We are so glad for the 4 years we have had a chance to be her parents and watch her grow.
