Ariana's 4th Birthday

Ariana, my middle daughter, turned 4 on July 30.  She is such a joy.  She loves art and fancy dresses.  She is the epitome of girly-girl.  Since daddy was gone during her actual birthday and I had friends from Washington visiting she spent the day with one of her best friends and then that evening had an ice cream at Red Robin to celebrate.  Daddy called to say happy birthday and to hear her open her present-  (Princess Tiana dress)

We also had a birthday party for her when daddy came back home.  We got a cake from Nancy's Fancy's.  She only asked for two specific guests- her friends Lily and Ruby (who is also her cousin).  The gift she wanted most was her very own purple bathrobe because she had previously been sharing her sister's which we all know is NOT cool.  It was simple birthday party where we all hung out and ate cake and ice cream.  Nothing Pinterest worthy but who wants all that stress.  We love you, Ariana.  Happy 4th Birthday!
