FOUR

What a little stinker!  I remember her birth so vividly, and I can't believe that was four years ago.  She  has blossomed into this sweet, sometimes sneaky, little girl, who is no longer a toddler but an equal share-owner of the girls' bedroom.  And when she puts on her Cubbies vest and recites her bible verse, she appears even older to me.  Her birthday fell on a Sunday, so Dadda woke her up early to have breakfast at Black Bear Diner before church. When they came home, she opened her present from Landon & her sisters and then we decorated the Christmas tree.  After church I made grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup and then surprised her with a mommy-daddy date to Mudpuddles while her sisters were at choir practice. Her dinner request was "mini" ribs and velveeta mac & cheese, with her favorite green bean salad.  She Facetimed with both set of grandparents, while opening their presents, and capped off the night with brownie sundaes.  The following day we went to Safari Sam's, which she chose for her birthday activity.  And she impressed us all by completing the "black diamond" route in the jungle gym all by herself, including climbing up to the start.
