GUESS WHO'S FOUR!

Guess who's four?

JAIDA!

And what a fabulous week long fourth birthday it was!


It started with the traditional celebration of Sunday dinner at Grandma and Papa's house.
Jaida and Aunt Tiffany share the exact same birthday!


After dinner, cake and ice cream, we open presents from the family.



She was so patient while Aunt Tiffy opened her gifts.
Jaida was so excited to get a Rapunzel barbie, games, cash register and a walk-man with her very own...

"Hannah Montana" soundtrack!
I do believe her sisters and mom were a little jealous.


Then the next morning was her actual birthday.
Daddy got up and made her Blueberry Muffins.
We stuck a candle in and sang Happy Birthday...
we all knew we wouldn't see her the rest of the day!

Jaida had NO idea she was in for a big surprise!
Grandma Downs had come to surprise her
and take her to
Disneyland!

She had the greatest time with Grandma. She even was a big girl and got to ride the Matterhorn for the very first time!
ofcourse we put her in her tallest shoes possible...

On Wednesday that week she was able to celebrate her birthday at school. She got to bring home the special "Brag Bag" as well as decorate her very own poster "All About Me".
"All About Me"
Some of Jaida's favorite things
1. Toby her dog
2. Her favorite thing to eat... Pizza!
3. Her favorite colors: Pink and Purple
4. What she wants to be when she grows up: Doctor
5. Her favorite friends: Riley, J.T., Trey, Madison
Then I surprised her with cupcakes for her whole class!
All her new preschool friends sang to her!
And then the big moment came...
Jaida's first "friend" birthday party.
She had celebrated so many others over the past four years...
it was finally her turn!
And what kind of birthday party did she want?
CHUCK E. CHEESE
ofcourse!
I made the cutest invitations (inspired by a friend) in pizza boxes and with Chuck E. Cheese on the front of the box. I brought my own decorations, paper products, dessert and party favors to save on cost. Even had a few coupons. We had invited fourteen four and five year olds so luckily I had brought a lot of help as well!
And yet... it was still insane!

We ordered the pizza and drinks, got tokens and off they went.
The kids had so much fun playing games and winning tickets.


Jaida had the time of her life. After games and pizza, Jaida opened
her presents from all of her friends.

We then lit the candles and sang "Happy Birthday"
one last time...
But not without a special visitor!

Chuck E. Cheese
came out to greet the children
and help sing to the birthday girl!
Happy 4th Birthday
Jaida Girl!
We love you
Stink!
