Piper's 4th Birthday

 Piper's 4th birthday was a week after Brady was born.  That morning we let her open 2 presents and then she opened 2 more when she got home from daycare that day.  She got a gymnastics outfit and two nightgowns from mommy and daddy.  Campbell and Bash got her two books from Barnes and Noble.  In February when it was Bash's birthday Piper wanted to get him a book since he loves to read so we waited until he came at spring break and we took him to Barnes and Noble to pick out a book.  There is a wedding sticker book that Piper has had her eye on for about 3 months.  She picks it up and looks at it everytime we go and always asks to get it.  My answer is "well put it on your list and maybe you'll get it for your birthday(or christmas, whichever holiday is coming up)".  That day she told Bash that she wanted him to get her that book for her birthday and when she opened the present from him she was so touched, she said, "he remembered!"  It was precious!

 About 2 weeks after her birthday we celebrated with a princess pampering party.  We had just a few friends come over.  They got to dress up in a princess dress, have their nails painted and some make-up put on, and there were many princess toys out to play with.

Before the party started Grammy surprised us by getting in her princess costume!  It was a hit! And we couldn't have pulled off the party without her help, especially in the food prep.  Thanks Grammy!

 

 

 Later that weekend Piper got a new bike from Grammy and Pops.  She was so excited (not sure if you can see that smile sneaking out from under the curls.)  It's pink and purple - her favorite colors - and it has a bell.  But best of all it's big enough for her growing legs.

 She hopped right on and took off!

 Of course little sis took this opportunity to jump on the old bike and she's trying so hard to learn to pedal.  Campbell has to be just like Piper.

We love our 4 year old girl - she's getting so big and we love the person she's becoming.  She's helpful and kind to her siblings.  She loves to learn and show off her pre-reading and writing skills. And my favorite skill (as pictured above) the ability to match her clothes in acceptable pairs :).  Piper you are a joy and we love you so much!! XOXO - Mommy and Daddy
