Mollie turns 4 - Happy Birthday, Stinkerbug!

Mollie's 4th Birthday! I can't believe she's 4...

On April 4, 2009 at 12:01 a.m., Mollie turned 4 years old!

Happy Birthday, Mollie!

Mollie opens presents with a little help from her sister Chloe.

Speaking of help... Mollie helped me fix her Birthday pancakes.

Mollie's birthday was announced on a local news station (this actually happened a couple of days early - but thanks to DVR...)

Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch

Looks like Mollie enjoyed her pizza!

Presents all day long!

We went to Six Flags

And....

American Girl in Dallas!

What a fun, girly experience!

Mollie was in heaven!

Our youngest princess in training already letting Daddy know what she wants!

Daddy and Abby

Chloe borrowed a doll for the occasion, which of course sparked her love for the American Girl dolls, too!

Our car, Mollie enjoyed being honked at!

After a very long day..

A special story from her daddy...

Daddy reads his "Smurfette" a bedtime story.

One more present she's been hoping for...

Barbie clean-up pup!

Bedtime!

Already out on her four month birthday, Little Abby.

Usually, we have a big day on the girls' birthdays that ends with cake and presents with Grammy and Grandad, but it was such a late night, that Mollie got to finish the next day.

Mollie loves Barbie dolls

And clothes

And new books

Mommy's turn to read a special story to her Stinkerbug!

And a final, very special golden birthday gift..

"My daddy went to Jared!"

Mollie received her very first ring from Mommy and Daddy!

Birthday cake!

Four years old! WOW!

Yummy!

Cake with Grammy, Grandad, Mommy, Daddy, Chloe, and Abby (who must have been asleep)

Now we have a 4 year old, a 32 month old, and a 4 month old! The fourths of the month are very special in our family!

Happy Birthday, My precious Mollie! We love you so much!

March 2009 - Grandma and Grandpa's Visit Comes to an end...

We had fun at Mollie's party..

Mollie enjoys her name on her piece of cake

Then, before they headed home, Grandma and Grandpa went by to see Mollie in her dance class...

I can't believe how young she looks here!

Grandma and Grandpa and their granddaughters

Sweet sisters!

Already being prepped for dance class.. Abby stares at her ballerina mobile.

Mollie earns another patch at Awana cubbies. She has to memorize Bible verses to earn these and is doing quite well!

Daddy's Little Helpers

Mollie - Almost Four and very "escited!"

I don't know why, but all three of our girls loved to get under this coffee table. When they begin to crawl, they bump their little heads...ouch!
