Amelia Turns 4!

Happy Birthday Amelia!!!


Amelia had a great day. She helped me make chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles for her class last night. Her entire class sang Happy Birthday to her. This morning she opened up one present before school and it was her very first barbie. You can see her in the above pictures. On the way home, she got a birthday shout out on the radio. That was a big surprise! Then she opened the rest of her presents, ate her requested mac&cheese dinner, and played with all of her new stuff until bedtime. I'd say she had a pretty spectacular birthday.


We can not believe Amelia is already 4. We were talking about it last night and thought the first two years went a lot slower than these last two. She's definitely a kid and not a toddler anymore. Her vocabulary is huge, she can count to at least 60, she's started reading simple words (if she's in the mood), and LOVES dance class. 

Things Amelia loves: Books, Bubbles, Fruit Snacks, Nutella toast, Disney's Frozen, Watching fishing shows on Daddy's lap, Tornadoes, Dolls, Playing Mommy, Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Craft projects, Sunday School, Music, Rainbows. 

Amelia is still the sweetest kid I've ever met. She really cares about other people's feelings. She's whip smart and amazes us with all of the things that she knows. She is also really funny. Our whole family loves being silly together and no time is better for that than bedtime. We are very lucky to have such a great kid for a daughter!

Amelia's Dance Recital (Video)

Amelia did fantastic at her dance recital on Saturday. I thought her class had some pretty cute costumes. Amelia was a big fan of the fringe and the feather in her hair! I'll try to get some pictures uploaded soon. In the meantime, enjoy the video from her rehearsal. Amelia is the one on the left.
