Alice's 4th Birthday Bash

Here are some of the highlights from Alice's birthday. It is so hard to believe that she is already four, and even harder to believe that this will be the last birthday that we celebrate in Texas (at least for a while :-) This year we had a special treat; her great-grandmother Maw flew in for her party!  Her party was at the Paramount Recreation Center and we invited many of her friends from preschool.  We had a great turn out, and she had a blast!

 

 

Here is the birthday girl bright and early in the morning, when she got up and discovered her new purple bicycle with a princess basket in the living room!

 

 

We started the day off right with a special birthday donut

 

 

Then we all got gussied up for the main event

We had a "Frozen" themed party this year, and invited a balloon artist to make some special designs for all for all of the kiddos.  He was definitely a hit.

 

 

The birthday girl was all smiles

 

 

I even got a nice hat of my own

 

Eleanor really enjoyed her sister's party too!

  

 

 

 

 I definitely learned how difficult it can be to capture pictures of rowdy running children, but here are a few of the shots I was able to get.

 

 

 

 

Many special members of our family and friends were on hand too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The gift opening ensued.  This kid was spoiled rotten! 

 

 

 

She loved all of her gifts and enjoyed every minute of her party, but getting the movie "Frozen" from her Mimi was definitely her favorite!

 

Make a wish!

 

I had to add this shot in.  Jeff got Alice a bow and arrow, (she has been begging for one), and here she is all dressed up taking aim in the backyard after the party.
