Happy Bir-day to Me!

The day began as Bryan, Blake, and I took Sara's present (the scooter) into her room and woke her up by singing "Happy Birthday." She sang the song the rest of the day. Sometimes it was "Happy Bir-day to Sara." Others it was "Happy Bir-day to me." And once it was "Happy Bir-day to Charlotte and Me."

Sara loved the scooter and rode it in the house a bit due to the wet and wormy conditions outside.

After dinner we got dressed for her party. I thought that she would want to wear her 'sparkly' skirt, but she would have none of it.

She had so much fun opening presents! My Sara was very spoiled by her friends and family. She got a Princess cash register, Princess figurines, a jumper, a Halloween outfit, 2 guns, 4 dress-up costumes including jewelry, 2 paint and color books, a Strawberry Shortcake doll, and a bath time Little Mermaid.Blake enjoyed helping her open presents and playing with them once she moved on to the next one.

Sara got lots of dress-ups. She had to put on the crown, earrings, ring and necklace immediately.
This was her Strawberry Shortcake cake. The figurines were top heavy and would not stand on the cake. Oops!
She even sang to herself along with everyone else. Then she blew out the candles one at a time.
This is one of the dress-up outfits that she got, along with the gun and holster from the Pectols.
There is a story about the guns. As Bryan was preparing for the hunt Sara told me that she was going huntin' too. She was going to go on a PINK hunt. She needed her shootin' thing. Then she asked, "Can I shoot a deer puh-lease?" It was very cute, wanting to be just like her Daddy. Needless to say she got two pink cap guns for her birthday, a rifle and a shotgun. Daddy and the uncles had lots of fun with them.
Another beautiful dress, and of course orange Tic-Tacs. She had so much fun and so much sugar that I wondered if she would ever go to sleep. I read her one book at bedtime. Daddy came in and asked her if she had a good birthday. She replied, "Yes. Can I have another bir-day?" Daddy told her that she will have lots of birthdays, but she will have to wait for her next one until she turns 4. She fell asleep 5 minutes later.
