burfday party

my mom threw a nice little birthday party for polly.

just a few family members, it was fun.

big balloons are always fun. especially if you are teddy.

"is this for real? can i seriously play with these?!"

i just think he is the absolute handsomest boy in the entire world.

and of course... the prettiest girl.

she biffed. while running, she fell and face planted. luckily it was just in the grass and we only had a bloody nose to deal with.

who? oh, the kid with the dirty knees and eternally messed up hair? 

yeah... she is mine. and she is the best.

princess pinata. is it still a pinata if you dont whack it? everyone pulls a ribbon and one of them pulls the bottom out, releasing all of the goods.

im pretty sure that her hair only ever stays "done" for about 3 minutes.

side note: i realize that her hoodie is way too small. its not hers. i forgot to bring a jacket and it was chilly.

doug and alison gave her a "ticket" to pick any princess dress that her heart desires at disneyland.

my dad. he is a cute grandpa.

bubbles

probably teddys favorite thing in the whole entire universe lately.

that man again. the hottie one. that i married.

oh, and since grama kaki my mom doesnt get her babies for easter, she set up a small egg hunt. 

pinata preparing

the girls pulled on the ribbons and all but one came out.

dont worry, the 30 year old secured her stash...

yes, there are cheerios on a photo ledge in my moms dining room.

my dad thought it would be nice to put them, photo ledges, not cereal up for my mom one day while she was out and about. he did so, but left them empty. my brother and his best friend that lives with them took it upon themselves to decorate. it has yet to be changed.

my big 4 year old girl!!!

i am so proud of her.
