Happy Birthday Jada!



Today is Jada's 4th birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. She is such a sweet girl with so much personality. She loves to be outside running, playing, and getting dirty, and yet also loves to play dress up and put on jewlery! She absolutely adores her sister Brecka. I am so thankful for such a big helper and am also grateful for one who keeps me on my toes! It seems like yesterday that we were driving to the hospital at midnight in the middle of a snow storm. I'm so glad that you joined our family. I love you Jades! Happy Birthday!


Brecka and Jada. Best friends and always together.


EVERYTIME Brecka puts sunglasses on, they are upside down! Isn't a 50/50 chance that she would get it right once??



The beautiful flower arrangment my Mom designed to go in Jada's pink/red/brown room. I love it Mom! So does Jada! :0) Thanks Mom and Dad for coming and making Jada feel so special. I was so sad that I didn't get any pictures of you with Jada. Next time!


My wonderful Grandparents came to celebrate Jada's birthday with us. It was so fun to have them travel from Idaho to be here for Jada. They gave her the most amazing detailed paper doll house book. It opens up into this doll house that has details on the ceiling all the way to the floor. The girls both loved it! Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma always somehow know what these kids love. They also brought jello cups that the girls have had at every meal since. They are a new favorite! Thanks again, Grandpa and Grandma, for making the trip!


...cake and ice cream...



We had a special McDonalds lunch. (Woohoo -no cooking for me!)



My attempt at making a "lipstick cake"



Jada really doesn't care what it looks like as long as it's sugar!


Jada's friend party. The girls made picture frames and then we took their pictures and printed them so they could show their families how gorgeous they looked all dressed up. We had a glamour girl party with glitter, lipstick, sunglasses, and sparkles!


Don't they all look fabulous??

We put some dazzling red lipstick on and had the girls make kissy faces. I think we need to worry about how good some of them know how to pucker up! You can't beat little Kate in the front row with the gray stripes. SMOOOCH!

The girls had a blast. Oh how fun to be a little girl! Thanks everyone for making Jada's birthday the best!

LOVE IT!!! Your cake turned out so cute - it looks exactly like a tube of lipstick I have. I can't believe you had that many girls, I bet it was one wild time. Hopefully Jada knows how special we think she is, we love her and will have more fun celebrating this weekend.

I am impressed with your cake making/decorating abilities! Your girls are so cute. Ellie had such a great time. She has been carrying around her little bag of treasures ever since the party. That paper doll house looks like quite the find.

What a fun time you all had! You are one brave woman to have so many little girly's there for a party. Your girls sure are cute.

I'm off to Elko again this weekend, but will call you when I get back. I feel like I have been no help. I'll call to find out more about what I can do to help with this coming Tuesday.

See you soon!

How cute, Darci. That's funny that our girls have birthdays so close to each other. My Reagan is five, and she chose McDonalds for her special lunch too. Jada is such a beautiful little thing! The dress up party looks like a lot of fun!

Amanda said...

It was such a fun day! Thanks for letting us be a part of it. My girls really do love playing with your girls. I am sorry for the many times Macy acts up and we have to end things! Happy Birthday again Jada!
