We started off Lucy's special day a little different - kind of like Christmas morning! We left all her gifts wrapped at breakfast because she was so excited the night before. We let her open them first thing and Xmas Winnie was a hit! She lost him a few years ago and saw him in a picture recently and randomly started crying about missing him (I know what traits she gets from me.) So, we called up Amazon Prime and wa-la! She also got an Anna dress, some My Little Pony toys, and some Frozen things and a Frozen sweatshirt.
We asked Lucy what she wanted to do for her bday since she didn't have school (phew, not sure I could have handled crying all the way to her classroom on her bday!). She never changed her mind once - she was going to Build-A-Bear and the Disney Store at Woodfield.
It was a dream day for any 4 year-old. Lucy and Leigh got to pick out their "stuffies" to make - Lucy made a Hello Kitty and Leigh made a Princess Palace Pet. Then we went to the Disney Store and Lucy had $20 burning in her pocket from my Aunt Pam. She looked around for a long time and decided on these magnetic Elsa gloves that pick up ice castle pieces. Then we headed to lunch at Rainforest Cafe, which the girls loved. We ended the day with Lucy's favorite noodles for dinner and an ice cream cake!
Happy belated bday sweet girl!! 4 has already been such a big year for you. Just a few weeks into school and you are showing so much independence (walking to your classroom all by yourself from the big front doors of the school!), talking about your "best friend" at school (which means you have friends), helping us so much with Leigh (helping her walk down the stairs, helping her put her shoes on) and learning so much more at school than we thought possible for a preschooler (you taught me a compound word a few weeks ago and then I tried to teach you one and daddy reminded me that it actually wasn't one, so you are already smarter than me.) I say it every year, but I think 4 will be our best year ever. Love you!!!!
