Happy 4th Birthday Alex!

On Tuesday, Alexandra turned 4! She was super excited about it being her special day ... ALL day. The day started with preschool -- and our little fashionista insisted on dressing up for school and brought cupcakes to share with all her friends.

After school, I took both Austin and Alex to McDonalds for lunch (along with some friends of ours). It was sort of a mini-party. That night, we celebrated, just the four of us, with cupcakes.

Sunday was her party. A Princess Tea Party. So of course, she had to dress like a princess for the special event.

We invited five friends -- so in total there were seven kids including Austin and Alex. Four of them were dressed as princesses. We played musical chairs, had a dance party, did crafts and of course, ate cake and drank 'tea' (apple juice in a tea pot). I made a princess cake (Belle from Beauty and the Beast) for the occasion.

In all a good time -- and Alex declared that she loved her party, except for the part when her friends had to go home.

Happy Birthday Alex!
