Sophia's Big Day

collage39
Sophia wanted a Cinderella cake for her birthday. She was so excited she could hardly stand it. As her big brother DJ lit the candle for her, she could hardly contain her excitement as we all sang Happy Birthday to our sweet baby daughter and sister. P8093504

Mommy and Sophia

When I asked her what dress she wanted to wear today for her party she said "I want to wear my Chinese Wanturn dwess and I need a bwack bow for my hair." P8093488
Birthday kisses from Daddy, the apple of his eye. P8093469
Sophia's friend Hope and her family came over on Saturday for a BBQ, to swim and go for a boat ride and brought her a soft kitty to snuggle with at night. P8093533
Of course Sophia and Daniel just could not get enough of Baby Ollie. Sophia kept saying "She's sooooo cute. I wub babies." ;) P8093491
She was so talkative during each present. Saying "I wonder what it is?" or "Oh this is so beautiful", or "I wub it", it really was adorable! P8093495
A harmonica for Miss Fia. P8093496
And of course there were a few goodies for Daniel as well. ;) P8093522
My two beautiful girls. Did I mention that Emmie goes totally over board when buying Sophia presents. Oh my achin' word......she had tons of stuff for Fia. P8103545
Daniel's look of pure shock when Sophia blew out the candle on her cake. P8093499
And then, when it was all said and done, Sophia just clasped her little hands together and said
"I'm so happy to be 4."
And Mommy's tears began sliding down her cheeks as she thought to herself
"I am so glad you are mine."
