The birthday girl was so excited for her party, she could hardly sleep the few nights before:) One night as she layed by me in bed, she said: "you know why I love my birthday so much? Because I have been 3 all this time, and waited SO long to turn 4, that now? I finally get to be FOUR years old!" ha ha ha. She also wanted to go over the plans just one more time the plans for the Birthday Bakery! She'd start every sentance off with "Ok, So,...":)What a doll. She is SO fun to do things for!
We had a special visit from cousins (the remaining 3 guests) & Grandma & Grandpa Smith later that evening to wish Ry a happy Birthday!
The day was ended by Mommy & Daddy giving Rylee her special birthday present.
Her very own VIOLIN!
Rylee has wanted to play for quite a while now, and we have decided to start her in lessons. This tiny violin is so darling, I about cried when I saw how tiny and sweet it was. Rylee is SO excited to learn how to play.
Happy Birthday!
Our little sweetheart is truly an amazing little girl.
It was a big year for Rylee Jo... she learned how to swim for the first time, & is a brave little fishy in the water; she started gymnastic this year, & does backflips on the bar which freaks her Daddy out; she started her first year of tap dance, which she loved so much she was Shirley Temple for Halloween; and she also started in her first preschool. She is one smart little cookie, & is very well behaved in class (mommy knows, cuz sometimes she teaches. ha ha)Wow! What a big year!
Rylee Jo is Beautiful inside and out! She is polite, smart, helpful, sensitive, loving, and is still the bestest big sister & daughter anyone could ever ask for!
We love you so much Rylee Jo. We are proud of you, and so very grateful you are a part of our family. Happy Birthday baby girl!
