The snowflake princess

When I asked Audrey what kind of party she wanted, she didn't hesitate. "Snowflakes," she said. Since we've been taking ice skating lessons, I suggested that activity and she was ready to go. We had to postpone her party since Miles & I were sick on her actual birthday, but i think it worked out better since Sunday was much less crowded than a Saturday would have been.

Of course since it was to be on Sunday, that made it harder for the out of town family to visit. We were so happy to visit with Mimi & PawPaw the weekend before her birthday. The weekend after, YaYa & B and the Williams' family came to play. We skated Saturday with the cousins then had yummy Mellow Mushroom and Menchies to celebrate.

 The Sunday was the "friend" party. Audrey was very gracious to include the big brothers of her friends. There is a crew of 4 year olds in her class who have siblings in Miles's class, so we often end up together at parties.

Here are the boys noshing on the marshmallows that were intended for the hot cocoa. Sugar!

 Audrey liked her cupcakes. They have little "pearl" sprinkles on them that look like snow!

 But as usual, the little ones only want to lick the icing. We always have lots of cupcake "stumps" left over.

 These two look like they're ready for hockey with the missing teeth!

 Here are all of the silly girls! They are all hopped up on sugar and present opening.

We had a lot of fun with everyone. Thanks so much for making Audrey's birthday a success!

PS I made a Pinterest board to plan her party. So much fun, but too many ideas! I used a lot of them though, including the snow globe, skater girl and snowflake ornaments.

20 questions with: AUDREY age 4

Today Audrey turns 4 years old! In honor of the occasion I asked her some questions. Sadly, Miles & I have been knocked out by fevers all week so her party had to be postponed until next weekend. And I'm still not willing to make any food myself so we'll have to get a store bought birthday treat later today, probably some Menchies! She doesn't care though, she already got her treat: gum. She had to wait until she turned 4 to get gum and she has relished chewing several pieces already this morning. Happy birthday sweet girl! My wish today is that you don't get what Miles & I have had.
