This year I was debating if we should have a family party or a friend party for River's 4th birthday, so I asked her.
She said, quite decisively, "I want a friend party. Like Uncle Joe and Aunt Jessica and all those guys." I said, "So a family party." "Yes." she says.
After that I asked her what kind of cake and decorations she wanted to have. Dragons, bugs, dinosaurs, princesses, etc. She said, "No Mom! A family party!" She was adamant about it, even when I waited a few days and asked her again.
So we played 'Pin the Tie on the Daddy' and had a family cake, complete with cake ball heads of our family: Cameron, Me, River, Sariah and our pet fish, Minny. Unfortunately this is the only good picture I got of one of the heads. The rest got gobbled up too fast!!! You can see the completed cake in the video.
We also had a heart tablecloth and hearts hanging everywhere because family=love! Plus, I couldn't think of any other 'family' oriented decor.

River and Uncle Ty. Free birthday rides!
Lots of family came to help us celebrate. Thanks to everyone for being there!
River opened this present and yelled, "ANOTHER WORKBOOK! I LOVE WORKBOOKS!" I hope she will say that in a few years when she starts school!

Happy birthday River! I can't believe she is already 4 years old! How fast time goes by...
Hi!
I would like to talk to you about an article I wrote that, being a parent, I think you would enjoy (on early childhood education). I'd love it if you could drop me an email quick so I can give you more details if you're interested or if you were interested in new content for your blog.
