AG turns 4!

Last Wednesday was AG's 4th birthday! It was a fun day for sure, as she had school and it was skate day. Back in August, I thought it would be a good idea to sign up to help with skate day on her birthday (I also signed up to help on my birthday...I think I thought the birthday/skate link would be a good reminder for me, and what better way to celebrate any very special occasion than in a gym full of toddlers on wheels?). So, the girls and I spent the morning there, AG with her class, and LL and SJ with me as class after class came rolling through. LL even got to skate for the first time, right along with her big sister. After her class skated, we all went along with them to snack time for birthday cupcakes. T came to join us and AG got to blow out 4 candles and celebrate a bit with her class.
Saturday we continued the celebration with a "pink and purple" party at our house. It was a nice cool afternoon and AG had a great time playing with her friends and family who came! Here she is with a few of her friends and LL, enjoying the new swing set she got from Grandpa and Nana. T finished putting it up that morning, so this was the first time she'd played on it!
Blowing out more birthday candles...no problem!
The swing set got well-tested on its first run with 10 giddy girls playing on it at the same time!
Having PawPaw, Mimi, Grandpa, Nana, Gran, and PopPop there for the party made the occasion even more special! AG was delighted, as you can see!
SJ enjoyed hanging out with Nana and others during the party. Not long til she'll have her own cake, but for now she doesn't know what she's missing!
Our "party of five" at the Party of 4!

Happy Birthday AG! It feels like yesterday when we first met you and your mom and dad, and you were 15 months old. Time goes sooo fast! We miss all of you!!!
