4th Birthday Recap
We did it! She turned four and had a very fun birthday weekend!
We took 6 of her little friends, along with their moms, to go see the play If You Give a Mouse of Cookiein Orem at the Scera. I highly recommend you go to this. It was the perfect length, perfect set, perfect story line and cheaper than movie tickets!
Abby told the sweet ladies at Dippidee in American Fork exactly what she wanted (pink, purple, dark haired barbie with a ribbon) on her cake and boy did they deliver. I showed this cake off to everyone, I mean EVERYONE. Just amazing.
We gave her presents based on our “present rule:” Something to Wear, Something Pretty, Something to Read and Something to Play With. Can I say I REALLY was not into giving her what she was DYING for in the Something to Play with category, but man, the girl was flippin’ out when she opened it!
Lunch with Daddy just topped everything off!
We did it. She is four!

That cake is awesome. She is so cute.
4 sounds so old. She is the sweetest 4 year old around.
She is so beautiful! Compare these pictures to the ones on Rebecca’s latest post. She has grown up!! And of course Dippidee came through wth an amazing cake! Happy Birthday sweet Abby
I love the pink dress! It looks like that was a double Barbie gift box! Wow!
Happy Birthday Abby! Darling cake! Darling girl!
I LOVE your birthday rules! Keeps things simple!
I DIG the “present rules!” That’s brilliant! Abby looks so old in her “something to wear” dress, though… growing up so dang fast! And the birthday shirt, birthday crown and birthday cake were amazing! What a magical birthday celebration! We loved being involved, too… xoxoxo!
She is such a beautiful girl. I love her “4″ shirt…and her new dress. Where are they from?
I also think it’s great that you took her to a play instead of to the movies. More unique. More cultural. More fun.
Vanessa- Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of Abby’s birthday. It isn’t very often that I get to see the smile my cake brings, I really appreciate sharing in this moment. I hope she felt like the princess she is!
