We celebrated Ayda's birthday Saturday. Kevin was able to come up for the weekend so we wanted to celebrate early! My mom and best friend came from ATL as well! It was a fun weekend! Ayda was beyond excited to have daddy, Grand-Pam and Aunt Lauren here!
Her party was "Art" themed. She helped me pick out the projects and worked hard on the decorations the week before the party. She and Hadley both spent a few afternoons coloring! It was a fun party and the best part was watching her with her three closest friends. Sadie and Kate are in her class at school and Sofia is a sweet friend we met through Hadley's playgroup. Our family loves Sofia's family so it's been fun to have the girls get to know each other and play so well together this year.
Also Ayda has literally been asking for at least 6 months for a bike. Kevin and I really try not to just give our kids whatever they want when they want. Granted they do get plenty! So we told her she could get a bike for her birthday. Bless her heart for being SO patient in waiting. I have a love/hate relationship with the timing of her birthday. Part of me loves that it is in the middle of the holidays and all the excitement that goes with that and part of me hates that she gets Birthday and Christmas presents so close together. But she waited and waited and we made sure she got her only request!! And she was SO very excited. She rides it any chance she can get! Today she was perfectly content to ride in circles on the driveway. It's hard for her to get to really ride it while I am also chasing Hadley around. She is so proud of that bike, bell, basket and helmet!!
We had an awesome weekend celebrating our (almost) 4 year old!
