As promised, here are the pictures (though a bit later than I said I would) of Amanda’s birthday!

She had a princess party the Saturday before her birthday.  Had 4 of her little friends over!

Decorating crowns!

And they made necklaces and bracelets too!

Yup, I’m such a cool mom, that I don’t make my kids suffer with a cake that I attempt to make.  Now, I’m not knocking anyone who does make their kids’ cakes, I think it’s awesome! I just don’t have any talent in that area, so I buy cakes at the store.

She went to preschool on her birthday and they sang to her.

She brought treats to share.

Then we had a small family party for her that evening.

Eden made her an extra large tulip!

Ashley made her a journal.

Read the note.

Surprise!!!

Really surprised!!!

A Rupunzel bike!

Amanda is getting big too fast.  It makes me sad to see time go so fast.  But it’s wonderful watching her learn and grow!

She is such a joy in our family!  Happy, giggly, and very loving.

Happy (late) Birthday Amanda!

We Love You!
