The BirthDAY

Well, her parties are not until Saturday but we wanted her actual BirthDAY to be special. I was so anxious for her to wake up so I could sing to her and make her feel like the special birthday girl that she was. Finally she awoke and I told her it was her birthday and started singing to the "birthday girl" to which she said "I'm not the birthday girl yet!" I thought maybe it was because she was tired, so we started our day. I took her to the Library where she was able to get her prizes for finishing the summer reading program. As we were driving to get some lunch at Weinerschnizel (sp?), she really loves hot dogs and one of her prizes was a coupon, I called her the birthday girl again to which she said, "I'm NOT the Birthday girl yet, you can call me Hannah Anneliese Pinger!" (Her F's sound like P's) lol that got me laughing. So then we went to Yogurtlicious and she THOROUGHLY enjoyed her strawberry banana yogurt with sprinkles, blueberries, and strawberries. Then we went to the Party store to get some prizes for her party and to borders and read more books and then she said she wanted to go home. She watched me get makeup on for the night's events. I always do my makeup in the car but decided to do it in the house this day. She was so excited to see me apply my makeup, she told me with complete awe in her tone,"mommy you're beautiful", made my day, and asked if she could also wear some...admiring her pretty face...
loving the lipstick...For some reason this is her new pose for pictures...
Here's the pose again...
While I wrapped her presents and told her to keep out of the office she asked me for bags and ribbons and wrapped up her toys for mommy...so sweet...
so proud of the presents she wrapped...
and LOVING her presents...saying, "NOW I'm the birthday girl!"...
She took a picture of mommy with the presents she wrapped...
