Happy Birthday, Jenna!

I just had to post some of Jenna's birthday pictures from today.  I'll catch up on December pics later.  :)

Today is Jenna's 4th birthday!  We're having a small family birthday party for her on Saturday, but still had to celebrate on her actual birthday.  Drew and I hung some decorations to help make her feel extra special.  She still loves her princesses and the color pink, so that's the theme I went with.  We hung this Happy Birthday sign on the wall, pink streamers in front of her bedroom door,some birthday decorations on the kitchen table, a few birthday presents at her seat, the "Your Are Special Today" plate  on a bed tray, and a Princess balloon.  As Drew has told me, I sure love to celebrate!  :)

She loved her Princess birthday sign!

We surprised her with breakfast in bed.  We've made it a tradition to serve the kids breakfast in bed, although "breakfast" usually just consists of a donut - nothing terribly messy.  Then they also get to open one present in bed. 

She got a Princess flashlight that also turns into a lantern.  She's been carrying it around all day.  :)

Birthday girl, Jenna

Now for the rest of her breakfast - egg whites over easy (crazy girl doesn't like the yellow yolk) and orange juice, along with a few more presents.

Thank you Aunt Cathy for my present!  I look forward to using it once the snow is gone.  :)


Plus some pretty headbands and a fun craft project - sticky mosaics.

Yesterday we did some pre-birthday celebrating since Drew was still off work.  We decided to take the kids to Jumpy's (an inflatable play area).  The kids really enjoyed their time there, as did we!  I love family time!

Whee!!

Daddy even went down some of the slides with the kids.


I went down once...and that was enough for me with my big belly.  :)




The Jumpy's mascot came out to say hi.  The kids waved to him, but didn't want to get too close for a picture.  :)
We had a great time celebrating Jenna's birthday!  Now we look forward to celebrating some more at her party on Saturday.

Cute! I love the midget pic of Drew - his head looks big and his legs but you can't see the rest of his body ;)
