The Greatest Birthday on Earth

Come one, come all to the greatest birthday on Earth!  Malone turned 4 this weekend!!  And we celebrated by having a circus themed party at Kidz Play. 

Malone had a BLAST!  All of her most favorite friends came and they had so much fun bouncing and eating chicken nuggets and cookie cake.  Malone is definately more social this year and it was so cute to watch her and her friends playing and interacting together. 

 This is Malone as the "birthday clown".  She loved her outfit and it went right with our fun circus theme! 

Last year Malone did not like being sung "Happy Birthday" to at her party or all the attention she got because it was her birthday.  This year she was ALL about it!  She smiled the entire time we sang and then blew out her #4 candle. I thought it was so sweet to see the difference a year has made.  This is Malone last year before her 3rd birthday party.  Look at how much she has grown in a year.



I can't believe how fast my sweet girl is growing up.  I remember how little and tiny she was when she was born and now she is growing like a weed.  Malone will start Pre-K this year and I get teary eyed every time I think about it.  She is not a baby any more, but a little girl that is maturing and growing with every passing second.  I amaze myself as she grows by being so excited and looking forward to the next milestone, but mourning the ones that have passed already.  I guess that feeling is just part of being a mother.  I am so thankful every day that the Lord chose me to be her mother and I cherish that responsibility to the fullest.  I love you Malone--to the moon and stars and ALL the way back again!
