(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.

Eve's idea of birthday heaven is a room full of people ready to play Candy Land with her.
Books are irresistible in this house. If you pick up a book, both kids will immediately appear. Aunt Katie is an excellent book reader.
Eve chose pizza for her birthday dinner. I love her idea of a good party - family and pizza!
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.
Eve liked the cake!

Classic.
Eve got wall sticker dress up dolls and a doll house. They were quickly put on the wall and the kids have been having fun with them.
Sunday was beautiful and we got out the bikes!
Lex is going to try and lose the training wheels this year.
Taking a break with Aunt Rose.
We can’t believe you’re turning 4!!! Happy birthday, beautiful girl. You’re growing up so fast. We love you!!!
