Harper blowing out the candles surrounded by friends eagerly awaiting the sugar buzz! Now that Harper is four she has in formed her father that she is four and can now "make her own ideas" (that are often contrary to what is asked of her).
My favorite picture: Here's the "Four Musketeers" (Harper's core gang of trouble makers). From the left: Greta, Brooke (on the phone), the birthday girl (pointing to her special cupcake that had about 1 1/2 cups of chocolate frosting on it), and Aris.
The Frog Cake. Jess hopes Harper will be on to something new by the time she turns five. Frog cupcakes, Frog rice crispie treats, Frog cakes...what is left?!
The present - an easel with a chalkboard on one side and whiteboard on the other. Harper has learned (in a matter of days) to write her name. She is obsessed with writing now and carries a little whiteboard and pen with her everywhere to write.
Overall, the birthday was a success. We tried to keep it low key with a simple party and no gifts. Somehow we ended up with three birthday celebrations throughout the week, a party with 20-25 kids, 7 pizzas/3 tubs of ice cream/frog cake, and a load of gifts for the girl. Maybe next year.
