at 4 years!!

 SOOOOO excited for her birthday dress from Grandma Susie

 helping Mama put the berries on her birthday cake

 It's done until tomorrow when we can squirt the whipped cream on top!

 I asked her if she wanted a very tall cake or a cake that looked like a cowgirl and she picked very tall! She says it is tall enough!

 Pretty girl :)

 Trying on her new cowgirl boots from Papa and Mama

 And checking out all her new stickers from Mama and Papa

 excited for her waffle play doh set from Genevieve

 the sherrif is ready!

 with her own horse from Grandma Susie

 And the donut maker she told Grandma and Grandpa she wanted!! She can't believe she can make her own donuts!

 4 years old already

 so excited to eat this cake!

 When the party became a little too much for her she went inside to quietly do puzzles with her friend Collin

 Opening her PlayDoh set from Aunt Barb! She kept begging to buy it and I told her I didn't know if it was still available, so she was explaining to me that it was available, but they had just put it away because it was nighttime when we were looking :)

 Doing her puzzle from Uncle Nels

 Fun at the hotel with Grandma. Juni stayed at the hotel with Grandma and Grandpa most every night except for the night before her birthday and party. The first night she cried and cried when we left, but said she still wanted to stay she was just going to miss us so much. The last night, she smugly said she didn't even miss us a tiny little bit! :) She loved the hot tub, the fancy breakfast waiting for her each morning, and most of all, the special time with just her and Grandma and Grandpa!

 Sister Love

 Genevieve meets my kid sister :)

 Juni reading to kid sister!

 "Juni and Mama" -a piece by Juniper Opal

 Whoa! Where'd this big girl come from ?!!?!?!

 My first gray hair is in my eyebrows! Ha! Love it! Can't pluck it yet!

 Juni wanted to be the baby, complete with sign language and crawling, so Genevieve got to sit on the booster seat!

 THIS girl LOVES wearing hats! Especially when Papa is wearing one!

 She wanted to stop here to pick the kumquats off the tree!

 Robot Jams!

 Mike and Maura, our neighbors/landlords, bought the girls a nice sandbox to put in the back yard for their birthdays.

 Sophie, they are waiting for your girls to come and play ;)
