Erica Turns 4

Erica turned 4 on January 16 (I am a bit late posting this). This was the first year she was allowed to have a friend party. Her birthday was on Sunday this year so we mainly celebrated on Saturday. In the morning we were busy decorating and making the cupcakes and getting games ready. Our party guests came in the afternoon and seemed to have a great time. After everyone left, I took Erica and McKay to Bounce for about three hours. After that we were exhausted but needed to eat. We went as a family to On the Border Mexican Restraurant. It was a fun filled day. On Sunday we took it easy but still opened presents and ate a yummy cake and had to sing Happy Birthday again. Erica, you are a great blessing to our family and we love you very much!!!

Getting ready for the party.

Cupcakes for the girls at the party.

Here are all our party guests (Kason had to join in on the fun). One of the girls brought her brother for McKay to play with. He did not join the party.

Playing a fun game where you try not to knock off the fish or you have to eat it with just your mouth if you make it fall. One girl decided she liked knocking down the fish and eating flour. The game was not quite as fun after that.

Erica with her presents from her parents, brother McKay, and both Grandmas and Grandpas.

This had to be the best birthday cake I have ever made. It was simple yet super yummy. A Jello poke cake with a kind of lengthy to make icing but is so worth it.

Mm, Mm, Good!
