Officially Four

The day started off with Marcus and me waking the girls at 7am singing "Happy Birthday". Emma sat up, rubbed her eyes and with a big grin said "is it my Birthday?" Olivia was snuggled in her bed but also had a big grin on her face. The girls had a gift for each other (their idea that we got ready the night before...just stuff they already had but they wrapped it up and had me tie a ribbon around it). They exchanged their gifts and said Happy Birthday to each other...it was the sweetest thing I've ever witnessed.

After daycare we drove into the driveway and Daddy had their presents out for them to see. I said, "What are those in the driveway?" The girls were so excited they couldn't wait to get out of their car seats to see...

They immediately hopped on their new bikes to give them a try.

We need a lot of practice, but I bet it will be no time before they have these mastered.

Then we went inside for pizza and ended with frosted brownies. We sang "Happy Birthday" once again and the girls blew out their candles.

They are so excited to finally be 4. They have been waiting a long time for this. When I put them down to sleep Emma said "Mommy, I'm 4 now, right?" I told her "Yep...say goodbye 3 and hello 4!" and she repeated that phrase word for word with the biggest grin you could ever imagine.
