She's Four!

Arabelle is "finally" four! Apparently it's a BIG deal to be 4! She went to bed expecting to be bigger the next day and she was convinced she had grown over night.

We spent Wednesday night at Papaw and Mamaw's house. She had told us that she was going to wake up before anyone and open her present. Fortunately, she didn't do that!

Bo wasn't too happy that he didn't have a present.

We played a bit and got ready for a fun Birthday! We first went to Walmart so Arabelle could spend her birthday gift card from Aunt Kay and Uncle Gary. She was SO excited to use her "credit card". She got so serious while she was shopping, but once she saw the 3 pair set of princess shoes, she was SOLD! Luckily, it was $0.03 under the amount on her gift card!

We met Jill, Isaiah, and Anderson at Monkey Joe's to do a little playing. They had SO much fun on all the inflatable slides and jumpy houses. 

It was hard to get pictures of them because they were in constant motion! 

We had lunch at Applebee's:

She wore her dress up shoes in to eat. It's SO funny to see her clicking around in little heels. :)

We were all worn out and went on back to Pineview. Everyone except Mamaw napped on the way home!

Arabelle crashed with the shoes in her lap. :)

Silly faces:

One more birthday celebration and cupcake.

On the way home that night, I asked her what her favorite part of her birthday was and she said her princess shoes and the jumpy place. :) I also asked her how she liked being 4 and she started crying and said she didn't know what to do now that she was 4. She was just so tired!

We got home around 8:40 that night and Arabelle and Bo were SO tired. Arabelle asked me to put her to bed first and that never happens!

She had a party at school on Friday. She requested a princess cake, so I dropped the kids off at school and went to pick the cake and other snacks up. Before I could get back to the school, they called to say Bo was sick. :( I was sad to miss her party, but luckily, she didn't mind! She really liked the cake. 

Julee Brooke was already there for Tripp's birthday party, so she checked in on Arabelle and took this cute picture of Arabelle and Gigi. :)

Arabelle seemed to enjoy her 4th birthday! So thankful for Arabelle!

Here's how she celebrated her 3rd birthday.
