Ainsley turns 4!!

Princess Ainsley turns 4!!

This year we had two different birthday parties.  One early in the day for her friends and one in the evening for her family.  My house just isn't big enough for both!

So for the first party, we headed to Norman to the Gymboree Play Place and celebrated with Princesses and Pirates.

It was such a fun time for all the kids!

Keepin It Sweet and Saradee's Sweet Treats provided cookies and cupcakes

Of course, all the princesses needed tiaras and the pirates needed eye patches

Cute little waters for parents!

When everyone started arriving, the kiddos just headed to the gym to play around before we got started

Mr Matt had all the kids help blow out a really BIG candle to start off Ainsley's birthday celebration!

We chose a Princess theme (of course) so all of the play was geared toward being "royal"

So all the kids crossed the bridge and waved at their "royal subjects" (aka their parents)

Then as all royals do...we tea and cookies

but we had to roll out the dough for the cookies first!  don't they look so good!

Then we put the cookies in the oven...

waited for them to cook...

then enjoyed!

After our snack, they had to conquer the "bubble blowing dragon"

And there is no princess who doesn't kiss a frog once in awhile...

And like all royals, riding horses is a must!

We finished up our gym play with parachute time!

BUBBLES!

Then on to the REAL snacks!

(doesn't she look like she's having the best time?!?)

While the kids (and parents) were enjoying the goodies, the kids could get their faces painted. 

I really didn't think Ainsley would do this.  We have been to fairs, etc..and she would NEVER do it.

But apparently, since it was ALL about her, she joined in the fun!

This isn't all the kids, just the ones that would pose for me!

Aren't they cute?!?!?

And now on to the 2nd party of the day...

Grandma Janice made her cake...and she was SUPER excited it was an actual dolls that she could keep

What a day!!  It was all about her and she loved every minute!  And since her actual birthday isn't until Wed, and she starts school that day, we get another little party at school.

This crazy girl has blessed us far beyond what we ever even imagined.  4 years of living in her world just isn't enough...here's to many, MANY more!

Ainsley,

Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

I hope you never go one day without knowing you are our sunshine.

Happy 4th Birthday!
