Charlotte's Fourth Birthday!

What a beautiful day for a birthday! On May 30th, Charlotte turned four! Hard to believe it - sometimes I forget she isn't four already, sometimes I just expect her to act like her big brother Edison.
 She got to pick the activities for the day which included a "birthday circle" at school followed by a trip to Chuck E. Cheese and dinner at Azteca. Her favorite game at Chuck E. Cheese's on this visit was the "Feed the Dog" game where the player pumps a handle up and down to make the floor bounce the balls up and into the dog's mouth. She just loved to jump up and down with the handle.
 We had a small cake that night and opened a few presents, including Legos and a light saber.
This is what Reed would have looked like had he been born a girl... leave it to Charlotte to embellish his look with a headband.
 On Sunday we had a backyard birthday party for friends complete with classic party games like the Egg Race, Candy Hunt, Memory Game, and more. The occasion was bittersweet as it was also our goodbye party as we moved out of our Mil Creek house at the end of that week.

 Charlotte requested a Hello Kitty cake. Usually I try to make their cakes, but not this time - all our kitchen gear was packed up in the storage unit as we awaited the move.
 When you're four, all your friends help you open your presents.

 We got to see Pete, Jennie, Alton and baby Evie at the party. The last time we saw Evie was three months ago and WOW, she has gotten so much bigger and is obviously super cute!

 The babies got to have some good play time together. Evie is six months now.
