Our beautiful princess is four!! It has been a long awaited event ... she has been asking the same question for months: "how many more days until my birthday?" Well, the big day finally arrived.
Her big present from Greg and me was a new bedroom. We spent many hours over the past week painting, setting up furniture, hanging pictures, and making her room look "girly". It was so much fun! I wrapped up a new comforter for her, then we all went downstairs to put it on her new bed (and to check out the room for the first time!) Thankfully, she was very happy with the result :)
While downstairs, Seth and Kiera gave Maddy some presents from them. Seth is always just excited to give a present as to receive one (well, almost).
New bed in a new bedroom! (The same bed mommy slept in when she was young!)
Maddy picked fruit loops for breakfast. Kiera went a little crazy on the party hats.
We celebrated the big event with a party in the morning. All her church friends came over, and had lots of fun dressing up as princess.
Grandma, Grandpa and all the VanGrootheest aunts and uncles came for some cake in the evening (Grandma and Grandpa came for some hamburgers as well). Kiera is very attached to Grandpa. She was upset when she had to sit in her highchair to eat her supper. She insisted that he hold her "baby" for the whole meal, and, being the great grandpa he is, he obeyed.
All in all, it was a wonderful day! One friend couldn't make the party, so we had her and her family over the following day for some more partying. And on Thursday we celebrated with the VanLeeuwen cousins. It was a busy week, but so much fun to celebrate with her!
