The Perfect Birthday!

Shelby had a great birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, but I think she may have had an even better day on the day of her actual birthday! We started the day off perfectly--birthday donuts!

After donuts, it was present time!!

After presents, it was still raining so we decided to let Shelby curl up with her new Frozen blanket that she had just opened & watch Frozen with Grampy. After the movie & lunch, the sky had cleared up enough for Grampy & Shelby to go try out Shelby's new kickboard at the pool! They had so much fun! And Shelby was EXHAUSTED from all the birthday fun! We finally had to go in & wake her up from her nap so we could continue the celebrating!!

Turning four is hard work!! ;)

After naptime, we made brownies per the birthday girl's request :)

Adam stopped by to surprise Shelby with birthday flowers! What a gentleman! :)
Later that night when Shelby was telling Derek about this, she said that Adam was her groom b/c he gave her flowers! ;)

After the brownies were baked, we jumped in the car to meet Daddy at Peter Piper Pizza for Shelby's birthday dinner!

After dinner & games, we came home to eat brownies & sing "Happy Birthday" to Shelby one last time!!

Just as we were getting ready to head upstairs to get the girls ready for bed, Grammy suddenly remembered one last present she'd forgotten to give Shelby--Frozen underwear. I wish we would have had a camera to record her reaction to opening that gift--it was priceless! It was like everything else she had opened that day was worthless & all that mattered in the entire world was that Frozen underwear! She was delighted to say the least!! It was the perfect ending to her perfect birthday! Donuts, presents galore, Frozen, swimming at the pool, brownies, a surprise delivery from her BFF, Peter Piper Pizza, & Frozen underwear--what more could a four year old ask for?!

This is what Hadley decided to do with the Frozen underwear ;)

We had such a wonderful day celebrating YOU, Shelby! We love you!!!

I've got one more birthday post to share (Shelby's birthday celebration at school), and that'll be it for Shelby's 4th birthday! Still hard to believe we have a four year old in the house!
