"Baby" A's Birthday!

I don't know where the last 4 years have gone.  I just know they have gone way too fast!  Today our "baby" is 4 years old.  The girls were all up at 6:45 because they were so excited to see A's bedroom.  I usually fill the birthday girls room with balloons and hang streamers in the doorway, and the older girls remembered that, so they were so excited to wake up and play with balloons.  And all these years we have wasted money on toys.  Balloons are the way to go!  ;) 
   I am a bit sad as I have to go help out with a school function while the hubby is at the movies with the girls.  I miss them!  But tonight we will have a horse birthday cake and A can open her presents.  She already received birthday money from her Grandma in Louisiana and knows exactly what she wants to spend it on.  A stuffed dog that bounces.  The kid LOVES stuffed animals! 
     I hope ya'll had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We did.  The meal was delicous and the company even better.  The girls were adorable and my folks had fun relaxing with the grandkids.  After our tummys settled a bit we put up the Christmas tree and over the past week I have been decorating for Christmas.  I love this Season!  Now, I must go and put in my time helping with a volleyball game.  Sports are not my thing, but I will do what I can to help out.  Hope everyone is having a great Saturday.  The high temp here today is 69.  That is outrageous for December 1st in NEBRASKA!!!

Happy Birthday to the newly turned four year old. If I had known she liked stuffed animals Grandma Beth could have filled her room with stuffed animals--seriously a friend from New Orleans sent us a grocery bag full from Mardi Gras. Beth's friend Teresa
