Happy Birthday Lauren

It's hard to believe, but our Lauren turned 4 on Monday and to celebrate the occassion, we gave Lauren a Cinderella Princess Tea Party and she relished every minute of it!! It was such a wonderful surprise to have Cinderella waltzed into Lauren's party. To see the faces on these little girls was priceless and just such a magical moment for all of them. Lauren's face immediately lit up the room and she was all smiles from ear to ear.

This Cinderella was fantastic! As soon as she came through the doors, she took total control of the room and opened up by singing a number of Disney songs, danced with the girls, and did face painting. I have never seen someone paint so many faces so quickly! She was a pro.... All the parents just sat back, relaxed a bit and watched. It was great..... Lauren definitely enjoyed the spotlight on HER day and was surrounded by friends and family. It was probably one of the best 2 hours of her life! LOL.... It was worth it to see her having so much fun.

The days and weeks leading up to her birthday, Lauren has come to the realization that she is no longer the little girl..... now that she will be going to 'big' school next week with J&C, she now sees herself as a big girl and is so proud. We definitely don't want our kids to grow up too quickly, but time is out of our control, and they grow up whether we like it or not. She will always be our baby girl no matter what!

To those out there reading this, a big THANK YOU for the gifts, the calls, emails, FB posts, texts, and well wishes. Lauren had a wonderful time and is enjoying all the gifts she has received. We love each and every one of you and are blessed to have you in our lives.

Here are some pictures from her party!
