Maggie probably thinks she has like four birthdays. We celebrated with our little family four days before her real birthday, since Alan was going to be out of town. Then we sang to her on her REAL birthday. Then she got sung to at church several days after her birthday. THEN she had her party with her preschool friends and neighbors 8 days after her birthday. Talk about stretching things out!

I have been giving Maggie some of my old toys from when I was little. This year Maggie wanted Elsa and Anna barbie dolls (of course), but since they cannot be found in stores or for a decent price online, I gave her my Belle and Beast barbies that are in great condition. (Several days later I looked up the Beauty and the Beast dolls on Amazon just to see how much they are selling for right now--$35-40 each! Sheesh!) Maggie also plays with my My Little Ponies and my Lady Loverly Locks dolls (anyone remember those?)

| Maggie's loot: my little ponies, Frozen movie and coloring book, paint with water book, Barbies, a "darling dress" from Grandma C. |
 |
| Maggie wanted a purple cake. The frosting actually tasted kind of nasty--too much food coloring? Maggie didn't like the taste of her cake, and since the rest of us were all sick the days following this party, I ended up chucking half the cake in the garbage... |
 |
| I let Maggie pick out a shirt at the store for her birthday. It has a butterfly on it. |
All of the following pictures are from Maggie's little friend/preschool Princess party. I was on my own to do the party and take care of Evelyn at the same time (at the last minute we found out Alan couldn't be here to help me), so I didn't get very many pictures.

| Pin the Tail on Eeyore. Not anything to do with princesses, but hey, we already had it here at my house. I spent a long time making it for Jared's 4th birthday party several years ago. |
 |
| The girls went on a Royal Treasure Hunt. We followed clues around the house, and then the treasure was in the dryer! Inside were foam tiaras to decorate. |
 |
| "Where's the treasure?" |
 |
| Friends (clockwise from top): Presley, Lennon, Cadie, Maggie, Eliana, Ava, and Asher. Kirsi came at the end and visited a while. |
 |
| The kids are searching for Cinderella's lost slipper in our backyard. I hid the slipper three different times because they had so much fun with this! |
 |
A new apron one of the moms made Maggie. She loves to help me cook in it!

Here is a cute video I took of Maggie. I was trying to be like a fly on the wall as she acts out "Let it Go" from Frozen. She knows ALL the words and pretends to be Elsa marching through the snow. SOOOO CUTE. This video does not do it justice.

Maggie is so cute! I love the picture of the princesses climbing the rock wall!
Four birthdays for a four year old sounds about right :) This reminded me so much of Natalie's fourth birthday party...we had a princess party with treasure hunt and dress up and fun games (we did plant the kiss on the frog for Princess Tiana). She even wanted a purple cake...so hard to get purple frosting to taste good! Happy birthday Maggie!
