Natalie's 4th Birthday

Natalie just turned 4 years old! For her birthday this year, we headed to Snowflake so she could spend her birth day with all of her grandparents. She had so much fun. Her birthday was on Sunday so we had a little birthday party for her on Saturday. That morning we headed to Show Low (or Jello, as she calls it--"Momma, are we in Jello?" or "Melanie lives in Jello"). My sister Melanie's in laws have a pony and Natalie got to ride it. Needless to say, after riding around for a while, she did NOT want to leave. She didn't even care that there was a birthday party later. She just wanted to stay and ride the pony. After that, we hurried home so I could finish her Barbie/Sleeping Beauty cake, which she absolutely loved. We planned to have her party at the Pioneer Park so the kids could play, but that only lasted long enough to take a few pictures of her with her cake. We could tell that the rain was coming and as soon as we had decided to leave and gotten back in the car it started pouring. So we moved the party to Grandma and Grandpa Webb's. The next morning, on Natalie's birthday, she got to open all of her presents from us. She has been waiting for this for a long time and was so excited. She was also very excited to be 4 years old. We had a great weekend!
