Sarah's 4th birthday








Here are a few of the pictures from getting ready for and your party. Your aunt Marcy took a great deal more of them. We will get them soon. We started the day by measuring you. You are now 37 1/4 in. tall and weigh 31 pounds. We got dressed and Zadie, Aunt Marcy and Uncle Jim, Daddy, Mommy and you went to El Gallo for lunch and then we went to your party. Your party was at Young Chefs Academy. 13 of your friends came and you made pizza, and decorated cupcakes. The party was a great hit and everyone had fun. You especially loved that Jared came and sat by you. When he came in, you both hugged each other and you wouldn't let anyone else sit by you.
During your third year, you began school at Zebra Zone (Bendwood). You met many new children and had a great year. Mrs. jenny was your teacher and Miss Meagan and Miss Candice were the helpers. You were one of their favorites. In October, you got married to Jared and to this date, you still talk about him being your husband. You wanted to be a weight lifter for Halloween and we found weights at the pool store. You were so cute. You had on a purple leotard and a head band and carried your weights. You went around carrying the weights and saying 'GGGGG'. Your costume wasn't the most beautiful, but it was the most creative. You were adorable. Your school had a parade and then a carnival. That night we went with the O'Quinn's to their church for a fall festival.
In November, we moved you to a big girl bed. It was a big day and you helped daddy set it up. You slept all night in your big girl bed. We hope that you will sleep in the bed for a long time. For Thanksgiving, we went to the Parade downtown in the morning with the Pettey's and then came home and had thanksgiving here with Manna. It was a great day.
For Chanukkah we went to Dallas to spend the time with Zadie, Dee Dee, and Aunt Marcy and Uncle Jim. Then we stayed home for Christmas and had Manna here for Christmas lunch and present opening. Santa brought you all kinds of stuff but your dad is still your favorite toy. We went to San Antonio for a late Christmas with your Oma and uncles and aunts. You were the center of attention and loved it. We came home for New years and spend it here at home just the 3 of us. On New Years Day we went for dinner with Manna and her friend Mary from California.
In February, we went to Dallas for Aunt Marcy's birthday but also so say good bye to DeeDee. She passed away and you went to make Zadie laugh a little. You were very sweet and payed a great deal of attention to Zadie. We met Dee Dee's family and you entertained everyone.
during Mommy's spring break we went back to Dallas to help Zadie move apartments. He had to move from the 7th floor to the 2nd floor. As it turns out, he is the social butterfly of the Classic.
In May you had your program at Bendwood. You were to sing and dance with your class, but your cried the whole time. You kept reaching for me and I wasn't able to get to you. You also had your ballet/tap recital in May. I was afraid you would be afraid there also but you were the biggest ham in the group. You also had the most people come to watch you. Those that came were the Parisians, Elizabeth Imrie, Allison Brothers, Manna, Mrs. Laura and Mr. Ed, Margaret and Margo and your mom and dad. Daddy and Manna had flowers for you. You were sooo excited. After, we went to eat at Pei Wei (the chopstick store)
You also had ear tubes put in in June. I wrote a blog about that that you can read.
All in all I think your 3 year had a great deal of excitement. Let's hope that the next year is even better.
