Birthday Party

Birthday parties are a HUGE highlight in the eyes of a four year old! Rhya had so much fun talking about being four, who was coming to her party, what kind of cake she'd have, etc..
The day finally came and Rhya was wondering WHEN people were going to come. It took an eternity for her to wait for the first car to pull in.

The girls are SO lucky to have cousins to celebrate with! We ate cheeseburger soup, cornbread, fruit, and salad. The funny thing about the eating arrangement was the the other kids finished up long before Brielle, but she didn't care. She sat at the table all by herself for at least 15 min. longer, happily munching away!

 Great Gpa Wayne, Great Gpa George, Gpa Mark, Auntie Shanda, Gma Mo, Daddy, Gpa, Uncle Travis

Present time equals lots of excited kids! The girls were greatly spoiled with lots of fun toys and gifts!

The cards were a big deal to Brielle. She loved to look at each one very carefully. It would have been fun to sit back and watch her open each one at her own pace, but somehow the clock ticks very fast during birthday parties!

Camping theme cake. Rhya had campsite number 4 on her cake and Brielle had campsite number 2.

Gotta love Brielle's finger going up to her mouth to feel her teeth just to be sure she was smiling.

All decked out in her dr suit. The kids had a blast fixing everyone up!

Brielle went STRONG and was super happy the whole party. She knew she was was wiped, though, and before the last guests left she crawled to the back of the play tent (that we had set up to go along with the camping theme) and fell fast asleep. She napped for over two hours!

Great Gpa Elmer stayed a bit longer than the rest. Rhya thought he might like to see her new birthday panties! HA! We sure missed Gma Jane this year. She used to be so involved in making the girls' day extra special.

Rhya and Brielle are SO lucky to have so much loving family close by!! Thanks to everyone who came and made their day special.
