Birthday Wrapup

Jade's Birthday festivities finished up with a doctor visit, Jemma and I visiting her classroom and a fun kid party at Pump it Up!

The girls were absolute monsters while we were waiting! They were egging each other on, I was sweating and they were hysterical. 

Ready for her checkup, but nervous for shots! She ended up doing great! She is 42 inches and 41.5 lbs, which is still around the 90th percentile.

Snatched these pictures from her class newsletter! On or around the student's birthday, their family is invited in to class for the last 15 minutes to read to the class! Jade chose two Pinkalicious books for me to read! The class then sang to her and she passed out a favor (Frozen Pez dispensers) to all her classmates!

Between classmates, other friends and little siblings there were over 22 kids at the party! Everyone had a blast!!!

The kids got to play for about an hour, and then we headed into the party room for snacks and cupcakes!

She loves cupcakes! :)

These were the party favors!

It was an amazing almost week of celebrating Jade! I'm so proud of my big girl. At 4 years old she can write her own name, loves to color and play with figurines of any kind, she adores her little sister and still remembers EVERYTHING! We love you Jadey!

Jade Turns Four

Jade was so excited for her birthday this year! We started the day with Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! Jade chose a chocolate sprinkle donut and munchkins!


Then she was pretty excited to rip into her presents! Pure joy!


She got the last Paw Patrol character and vehicle she needed, along with some Frozen themed toys (Ice Palace, Elsa doll and Activity books).




The Rapunzel Styling Tower, sunglasses and pool gear from Aunty Jill and Uncle Jim were a BIG hit! Thank you! :)


The girls had a blast playing with Jade's new toys all day! Then it was off to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and games!



This was just the first celebration, stay tuned for more!
