Look who's 4




Today is the Juice's Birthday. At least she thinks today is her birthday. Actually it was last Friday. But we were in a hotel room in Ogden, Utah because Hy was running a marathon the next day. What a lame birthday that would have been. So we just pretended that it wasn't that day and we told her it was today. So when she woke up we said "You're 4 today". Then Red said: "No, she's already 4, I heard you tell Jami and Jarin (our friends in Utah) that she already had her birthday--she's already 4". And we just kept ignoring her and saying "Today's your birthday!!!" The poor middle child, already getting shafted.




So anyway, she started off with a donut cake--what could be better? Our kids love them. Then if you are a slacker parent and do nothing else for the rest of the day--they don't seem to mind because they had an awesome breakfast cake. Hy worked last night and is sleeping today so we have nothing planned. Luckily my good friend Darcy is taking her girls to see Whorton Hears a Who, and so we're going with and I told them it was for The Juice's birthday. They think it's great. She'll get a birthday dinner with cake on Sunday at her grandma's, so she's not totally shafted.

This girl is the best. She's happy with anything. So funny and sweet and super fun. She's a party--at all times, even 6 a.m. when I don't want to party. I love her so much. I can't believe she's 4. Happy Birthday Juice!

Love that red was totally spoiling it for her. Happy Birthday Juice! She is just too cute for words! I can't believe it's been 4 years. I remember her as a baby. Have fun at the movies!
