Already 4!

My sweet baby KK turned 4 on Tues. I cannot believe she is already 4. Time goes by too fast. I keep thinking that in the short time she has already turned 4 she will be 8. Does that make sense? Well KK had a wonderful party last Sunday where she had several of her close girlfriends come over for a princess party. They played outside, we ate octopus hot dogs on top of mac 'n' chz, decorated tiara's, tried to pop balloons with stickers inside, blew out candles and opened gifts. Busy day but so much fun. I love home parties. On her actual birthday she went and played with her friends Gracie and Kenzie and then we went with Morgan to get their ears pierced. They both did so good. Not even a hint of a tear. I had the worst gut wrenching feeling b/c I was so nervous but in the end it was wasted energy. After ears were done we went to Chick-fil-A for dinner and then to get gelato for dessert. The last pic. you see is her having so much fun decorating a jewelry box that she got as a gift.
KK is such a wonderful little girl and I could never imagine life without her. She did not want to turn 4 b/c she knows as she gets older it is closer to time for her to get married and then move away. She talks about it a lot and always asks when she gets married if she can still live with mommy. I always tell her of course knowing that in a few short yrs. she will not want to live with her mommy anymore and will want to go explore the world on her own. I wish that my girls would stay little forever but as long as we are always as close as we are now I will be the happiest person.
