Deja quatre ans...

Four years ago...

and today.

Yesterday was Chloe's birthday ("for the real," as she likes to say. We had a wonderful day! When she awoke, Papa was already at work, and so we saved presents for the evening. We did call Papy and Mamie and opened their lovely princess dress (above) and jewelry (including clip on earrings!). She adores it! The girls and I went to the bookstore, and Chloe picked out a new book of her choice: The Princess and Frog. She is so excited for this new movie to come out in December. We went out for a fun pancake and sausage brunch (some of her favorite foods). Then she napped, and Papa was home. She opened our present--a Melissa and Doug Princess Castle. She loves it! It fits her little princess Polly dolls and figurines perfectly.

After some play time and a special surprise from her best friend Ava (she brought Chloe flowers...so sweet), Grandpa, Grandma, and a few other relatives came. We had a great dinner, a princess cake (decorated by me--that's another story!), and more presents. Chloe got some clothes, barrettes, hat and mittens for winter, a beautiful Barbie doll, a tool set (something she has really wanted for awhile), and some more dress up things (including more earrings--I have never seen clip-on earrings for kids until today).

Today, Chloe is taking a birthday treat at school, and Saturday, she is having six friends over for a princess-themed party, so the festivities continue....
