Cambree's 4- Holy Cow...!!!

I cannot believe that Cambree is 4! Well I can because she wouldn't let me forget :)

We had to cancel her planned birthday at my mom's with my sister Chelsie making her birthday cake, so I had to scramble to come up with a cake and figure out some kind of party.

Cambree sat with me on Thursday afternoon and picked out pictures of what kind of cake she wanted. I was surprised that she actually had a true opinion on what she wanted. So the one below somewhat resembles what she wanted. I tried :) She put her old princesses on there and I had to laugh because they are obviously used. Colored on, scuffed etc. But they were cleaned.

Cambree insisted on helping with the cake and was even more proud of the end result. Love this impromptu pose.

So on Saturday, she woke up and immediately started on that it was her birthday. She insisted on waffles for her birthday breakfast. She settled for pancakes but loved that she got to blow out a candle in the morning. Even better we let her open 2 presents. A tutu outfit for her to wear for her birthday, and a watch.

All day she kept asking for the rest of her birthday. We had to keep telling her it wasn't until later. Nana came over with a nice gift for her and she loved it. It was a huge door banner that was meant to say "Happy Holidays Princess" but she was so smart and changed it to Birthday. Perfect for Cambree.

We had planned on doing a small barbecue for her birthday and have her gifts and cake at that time. It was amazing how quickly the numbers jumped from the original 6 people to over 25. It was great but it was kind of funny. Cambree got a huge party. She made out awesome. It was a lot of fun too.

So here's the set up. We obviously couldn't fit everyone in our house so we did it outside.


Here's the door hanging and Cambree loving her new outfit.

Pat showed up with this gift for her and she was ready to start opening. She was so excited to get that.

She cracked everyone up with her opening of the gifts. She made all kinds of faces with each gift like it was the best one and then would literally throw it on the ground and look for the next.

She's going to have one more to make up for the missed one at my parents so there's more of this fun to come :)

So now she's 4. Makes me truly feel very old. Next is 5 and off to school. CRAZY!! Happy Birthday little girl. Love ya!!
