Happy Birthday, Princess Jane!

Yesterday my sweet baby Jane turned 4. I can't believe she is that old! On Saturday we had a Princess Birthday Bash in her honor. We invited 17 little girls thinking about half would show. Nope. 15 of Jane's friends and cousins were able to come celebrate her big day! The party was a blast! The girls got to make wands, get their nails painted, dress up, play "Poison Apple" (aka Hot Potato. . .they didn't get it as well as I thought they would), kiss the frog (pin the tail on the donkey only they had kissy lips instead of tails and it was a picture of Prince Naveen the frog, not a donkey), eat pizza, open presents, and have cake and ice cream. What a party! We were all so spent afterward, we crashed.

Yesterday, on Jane's actual birthday, she got sung to in Primary and then later in the day we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bassett's for dinner and she got to blow out candles there too.

Janey, I'm so glad that you were born. You have filled our lives with excitement, happiness, drama, and love. You are so smart! You know your letters, numbers, colors, and animals. You can draw and paint and read words. You help mom and dad. You are kind and compassionate. We can't wait to see what the next year brings! Love you, Sis!

I am tired just from reading all you did for the party. Can I hire you to throw my kid's birthdays and make their cakes? You are incredible!

Looks like Jane had a blast! I bet she just loved every minute! I love the cake you made! You did a wonderful job. I wish I was that talented.

Happy Birthday to Jane. I can't beleive the kidos are growing up so fast. The cake looks awesome. You are amazing! I am sorry about your grandfather. It is such a hard thing. I lost my grandfather in January and it has been difficult. I am glad that you are staying in Utah for at least one more year. That gives us some time to get a village get together planned. Hope all is well.
