four

my little girl is four. she woke up this morning and "could hardly believe it" that she still fit in our bed for morning snuggles. because being four means that you are definitely bigger than you were at three. it has been a sweet day.

the morning started with candles and curious george--the movie that we've rented so often we decided it would be well worth buying.

a trip to bounce-a-rama with just jon and i...and her new friend, joe...that she met there. joe was seven and stuck around us, or should i say, abby, like glue. i told jon he better get ready. ;)


yes. they are holding hands. jon said he wasn't worried because she'd always be his little girl, but it was amazing today to watch her content to play with people other than us. however, we still got to play.


and my screaming face was for all for abby. i'm just sharing in her enthusiasm.

we went to chick-fil-a with nana, julia and uncle robert where they gave her an ice cream cone with a cherry on top.

my favorite part of the day though was our spontaneous trip tonight. i was having cake issues (i'll save that story for tomorrow), and we were running around getting the extra supplies needed to try to salvage it. i was asking abby about her day, and she said, "can we not talk about birthdays?" no problem. so, i turned on the radio, rolled down the windows and my child's face lit up like it was christmas. just driving around together was such fun. i love love love being with my little girl. she is precious.
