Here is Lucy on her birthday. She dresses herself which makes almost all of her outfits quite memorable.
Jimmy and Sam were out camping the night before Lucy's birthday so we had a little girl's night. We had just recovered from a week of the stomach bug, so Friday evening we basically painted finger nails had English muffin pizzas and hung out. But on Saturday, her birthday I took her for a hike. She had to be motivated the whole way, but we got to the top and it was a beautiful.
On Saturday we had her cousins over for dinner. It was A LOT of fun! Ada, Alice, Clara and Peter are quite lively people. Well, Peter is a little baby, but he is awesome even if he isn't running around yet. Aunt Heather made Lucy a cape and she now matches all her girl cousins. It was fantastic! Then we had spaghetti and meatballs per Lucy's request and then strawberry cake. The frosting did not turn out as well as last years, but because it was all butter it was still quite tasty. See video of Lucy blowing out candles below.
Lucy got this cute dress from our wonderfully nice neighbor Nancy.
Sunday we went to church and then we headed up to Nelson for a party. My cousin Caitlyn was back from her mission and her brother Ryan had been married recently, so they had a shindig and we went. We got to see lots of family and friends.
Then on Monday Lucy had a little friend birthday party. We did a scavenger hunt and then painted small pots and the kids took home some starter plants. Then some of our friends stayed for a picnic at the park. I think the day was a success.
So that was Lucy's birthday in a very quick summary. We love our little Lucy. Except she isn't too little any more. She is now 34 pounds and 38 inches tall. She is a ball of energy and some one who loves to give really great hugs. Happy birthday Lucy!
Sounds as though Lucy had about three or four birthday parties - which is neat!
ReplyDeleteYou (and she) are fortunate to have so many relatives so close. Thanks for sharing Lucy's 4th birthday.
