Jenna's 4!

In light of the craziness with packing and preparing for a move, we had to do our best to squeeze a birthday celebration into the schedule for Jenna. She has been talking for months about having a birthday party, who would be invited, and the pink cupcakes with sprinkles that she would have. So we blew up balloons, backed pink cupcakes, and had four friends over to play and celebrate. (Side-note/ Tip: If you have a party to throw, I highly recommend the individual helium tanks that you can buy at Wal-mart. It was great! We had about twice as many balloons for about 2/3rds the cost, and we used the tank for 3 celebrations - Dad's birthday, balloons as a gift for a friend's birthday, and Jenna's party.)

Pink with sprinkles, of course. Baking these and eating them brought back memories of my 3rd or 4th birthday when I, too, had to have pink cake.

A few friends to join in the fun!

This is Dillon, one of Jenna's best friends here in Indiana. We're going to miss him when we move!

And we had presents! Jenna made sure we didn't forget the presents!

After everyone went home, Jenna spent the rest of the day playing with her new princess umbrella outside in the rain.

Jenna's birthday was actually the next day, so I took her outside to take her first 4 year-old pictures, and she insisted we have a picture with her favorite gifts. 2 My Little Ponies (Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa H and her big brother, Robby) and her princess umbrella (Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa W).

And here's our 4 year-old!
