Gabrie's Birthday: Part 2

Gabriella turned 4!

4 months
4 years

She is getting to be such a big girl! Right now she loves:

-anything Barbie or princess
-playing video games- Little Big Planet with Daddy, Barbie games on the computer, or anything on the I-touch
-going to preschool
-going to dance
-playing with Livvy
-coloring, painting, cutting, glueing- anything crafty
-"designing" and "decorating" (She is her mother's daughter and I promised I haven't pushed it on her!)
-playing with her friends
and of course talking, asking questions, talking, talking!

Funny things she says:
-the north cold (north pole)
-kantark (guitar)
-rushmellows (marshmallows)
-tree (three)
I know there is more...I will add them when I remember.

Gabrie requested a "Barbie: Fashion Fairytale" birthday so I did my best to create one! "Fashion Fairytale" is one of her favorites movies. She had seen a Barbie cake at a friend's party and wanted one like it. I kinda adapted a receipe I found for one and it actually turned out alright! Gabrie loved it and that is what's most important.
She also requested that every character and accessory be on the cake but since that wasn't really doable I made cupcakes with the "Flairies" on them instead - that satisfied her.
We invited a few friends to come for her party, and they had a great time! They danced to "Get Your Sparkle On" the theme song from the movie ( :

Made picture frames, colored pictures, dress-up and played outsideBlowing out 4 candles!

Gabriella has been such a blessing in our life! She is full of energy and fun! She wants to be friends with everyone and tries really hard to do what is right. She is a great big sister and a wonderful helper. We love her so much!

That cake is super cute! Sounds like the girls had a blast. Abby is still keeping the picture she colored pretty close at all times :)

Don't you just love the talking and asking questions?! Some days, after what seems like hours of non-stop talking and questions, I'm desperate to find something to distract Abby and keep her mouth and mind occupied.
