Little Girl's Birthday Party

Saturday was a certain little girl's birthday so we had to CELEBRATE!!! This was a challenging thing for me considering I have never thrown a little girl's birthday party! We decided several weeks ago to have a makeover party. We did manicures, pedicures, and put on some makeup! The girls had a great time and especially Lizzy. So even though I had no clue what I was doing it turned out well!

Cory and I got her a new bike for her birthday, but I also recently made this for her room. She desperately wants us to paint EVERY wall pink, so we had to compromise with her! This is going to "pink" up one wall. I also made her the cupcakes she wanted to her specifications! She was so shy when everyone started singing to her!
Lizzy, Mya, and Brooklyn all in matching dresses, just like cousins should be! Right?!?!
Opening one of her many girlie gifts! She got dress up shoes, tiaras, septors, dress up clothes, girl books, puzzles, etc. She has officially girlified the basement with her new stuff!

She has done nothing but prance around her in new dress up clothes and shoes with a tiara on ever since her party! SO FUNNY! Hopefully the boys won't tear any of this stuff up :)

You don't know me but I am a friend of Ryan and Kaci. I follow their blog carefully and saw yours and have to admit I am hooked as well on yours! I used to be the nursery supervisor in the Guymon Nazarene Church and took care of mostly Mya but occasionally Tate on special occasions-such as practices for different things. So I love to see pictures of Tate and Mya on your blog! My oldest daughter knew Kayla in high school so it's fun to see pictures of her little girl as well! But I decided to write this to you because Of Lizzy. It just touches my heart to see how you have taken this little girl into your home and are loving her! I have known foster parents who have only fostered children for the money. But to see you, 6 months pregnant, and with 3 small boys pouring yourself into the life of another child just blesses me so much! I hope your family tells you enough how amazing you are-because you truly are! You and your husband are exactly what foster parenting should look like! Great job!!!

Wow, what a nice compliment above, huh girl? And, she's right, you know. :) So, so true.

I'm totally in love with that little chicka! So glad her bday was girlie and wonderful!

I'll be calling on you for help come January, now that you've done it once! *heehee*
