Happy Birthday, Baylee!

Baylee is one excited little 4-year-old today. She has waited for this day to come for a long time. She was over yesterday for awhile and told me several times that her birthday is tomorrow and she would be four. She is spending this special day with her family for a quiet (???) celebration. Baylee had her birthday party at my house this past Sunday. She had a blast! Her friends were here, two sets of grandparents were loving all over her, and she had birthday cake, ice cream and presents. What more could a little girl want?
Baylee and Sophia enjoyed sharing a raft as she looks sweetly into the camera.
Baylee and her friend Katie held hands and jumped off the diving board. They are so cute together. And now, as of today, they are both four!
This picture is a reenactment of what happened the day before when Allison entered her kitchen to find Sophia on a stool and eating Baylee's birthday cake. Brian suggested that she bake another one, but Allison thought the damaged one was perfect. We all got a laugh out of it and none of us were afraid to eat after Sophia. Baylee asked for a pound cake topped with strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream. Does that sound like a 4-year-old?
I love that my granddaughters have this picture of them with the three women who love them the most, their Mom and both of their grandmas. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one is what a blessing looks like. For all of us.

Happy birthday, Baylee Girl! I know you will enjoy your day with your family. I'll be calling to sing the birthday song and ask how it feels to be four. Memaw doesn't remember. I love you, sweet girl!

She is so excited about her big day. Jude woke her up before the crack of dawn singing "Happy Birthday". She is playing with all her new toys and taking full advantage of getting to make all the decisions today.

Thanks for the well wishes

Baylee, Happy Birthday!!! I hope you had a fun day! Your cake looked yummy! And you're such a big girl to jump off the diving board!

That's so funny that Sophia was helping herself to the cake. Baylee didn't mind?
