Della had a birthday!

For a month our neighbor had this banner out front with positive sayings
 and affirmations they changed daily. 

Lucky birthday girl got a special shout out!

This girl is a gift  I tell you.
Her cuteness is just beyond. 

How, HOW can she be 4?

She is sweet, yet very bossy.
Can give her fair share of whining, yet snuggle up the wazoo. 
She is smart as a whip. 

 Gets away with everything the older 3 were never allowed to.

Perks to being the forever baby in the family.

Lets face it, we ALL love her to pieces. 

Good gosh.
Everything down to her stinking cute teeth.

She insisted on having her hair down and curly.

Somehow I won and she got a tiny pony so her bow would stay in. 

Preschool is the love of her life, and lucky for her, her birthday was on a school day!
2 of her favorite friends, Brad and Jo, came home to play afterwards. 

We always wait for dad to come home before opening presents. 
She requested a pink Barbie cake.
As you can see, Shelley's Bakery supplied that, lol!
Why waste money on a fancy cake when they could care less?

She opened up a baby stroller to replace the 3 torn ones we have.
And a baby doll to put in the stroller. 

Grammy is always there to wish them a wonderful birthday every year!

It's my birthday and I'll crash if I want to!
On our way to her birthday dinner.

For some reason Della is super hooked on the Fuller House t.v. show.
Yep, not my finest mom wins.
Like I said, she gets away with lots of things:/

One of her favorite episodes is where Kimmy is showing Steve and 
CJ how she can party plan their Japanese wedding.

She turns the kitchen into a teppanyaki restaurant. 

So where do we go?...

Annnnd it's a lot different in person, ha!
Wasn't so sure of the flames. 

 

As much as I hate that she is growing out of the baby phase,
I kind of love this stage of life.
Her personality shines through and she can hang just as much as the rest of us.
All she wants is to be treated like the big kids, and knows when she is getting "babied".
Seeing how she taught herself how to ride a 2 wheel bike ALL on her own (no joke,
no help from anyone), I'll let her be a big kid:)

Happy Birthday, Della girl!
