Seriously, four.
How can my itty bitty baby girl be four years old.
Where did the years go?
It's so true when other parents say that time really does fly. It does. And sometimes, I'll be honest, I'm so happy when the time flies. But most days it makes me sad to see the years going right past me. It is exciting that Grace is getting so big and able to do so much for herself, yet she still needs us. I don't know what I'll do when she doesn't need me anymore.... hopefully she will always need me.
Grace wanted a party for her big four year old birthday so we did. We chose a Valentine theme since after all her birthday is on Valentine's Day. And it was perfect.
We had all the decorations made from hearts. I made a wreath from cupcake liners that turned out super cute and made a banner. We also made some crayon hearts which we hung in the windows.
We filled goodie bags with some heart sunglasses, fruit snacks, a heart bracelet and a lollipop and tied a little Valentine on top. We also decorated a Christmas tree with hearts and tulle and I put out a picture of Grace on her 1st Valentine's Day.
All the party go-ers! Yes we did an all girl thing this year. We wanted to keep it small and intimate. 
And the cake - made by me. (This cake is much larger than it looks...we are still eating on it!)
When the guests arrived we started with heart shaped pancakes and fruit. Not sure but I don't have a picture of the pancakes. Adam worked so hard on them!
After we had full tummies we played some games.
We pinned the lips on Ms. Valentine and we did a Heart Hunt.
We also made a cute Heart picture frame. 
Thankfully all the moms helped out!
And of course we ate some cake.
And ended with a little dress up. What else is a girl to do?!
It was a fun party!!

Isn't it crazy how fast the time goes? We'll be starting Kindergarten soon and from what I hear, once their in school > time goes at warp speed.
Hence the reason it is so important to enjoy each moment! (Or at least TRY. As I am reminded of a particularly difficult bedtime tonight...!)
