An Almost-Four Year Old Birthday Party!

(I’m not quite ready for her to be four yet. I still get a few more days with my three year old!)

For her birthday this year Eve wanted a “just family” party. Over the past weeks I’ve asked her off and on about inviting others, maybe a few friends, or neighbors, or classmates, but she held firm to her “just family” idea, so this weekend we had a fun “just family” party. Luckily we have more than enough family to fill the room! :) Eve was surrounded by love and duly doted on.

Lex learned how to use the vacuum and did a great job helping us clean for the party.

He was THRILLED that I let him stand on the counter while he dusted the shelves.

After he was done with the shelves he decided to clean the counter. This kept him busy for awhile. It was great.

reading with katie

Books are irresistible in this house. If you pick up a book, both kids will immediately appear. Aunt Katie is an excellent book reader.

pizza

Eve chose pizza for her birthday dinner. I love her idea of a good party - family and pizza!

cake

Cake! This year Grampy Don convinced Eve that she wanted a Parcey Cake for her birthday. She agreed before she even knew what it was :) Parcey Cake is a Johnson family creation consisting of layer cake with a layer of Jell-O and Cool Whip between the cake layers. Eve chose chocolate (of course!) and raspberry Jell-O. Yum.
