Adaleigh's Berry Fun 4th Birthday Party!

Adaleigh has loved Strawberry Shortcake for well over a year now. For a time, she would even introduce herself as "Adaleigh Rose Conner Strawberry Shortcake". She wanted everything Strawberry... and lately her dreams have come true. You all saw her as Strawberry for Halloween, but here comes the birthday fun... yesterday we celebrated her 4th birthday at her Grandma's house, Strawberry Shortcake style. Everything was Strawberry and majority of her gifts were Strawberry, too.

She loved the Twinkle Toes Sketcher shoes I bought her. She's been wanting them for months and I finally gave in and spent the money on them. Well spent, I'd say, because she was sooo excited...

We were all shocked that none of the gifts were duplicates either! The party was a total success. Caroleanne planned lots of fun games for the kids including "Pin the Strawberry", "Fishing", and a Pinata! As you can see, not only did Adaleigh have fun, but so did the 4 classmates and 2 cousins that attended...

The adults enjoyed the fun and food as well. Yum...

I cannot believe it has been 4 years since I fell in love with my baby girl, Adaleigh Rose on November 21, 2007 at 7:24pm. She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce and measured 20 inches long that day. Today she weighs 45 pounds and is 43.5 inches tall!

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Well, hello again blog world. I'm back. I've decided to start blogging again although I'm not exactly sure when I'll find the time to do it, but I'm going to try my best. I want my family members to have an easy access to updates on the girls, especially those of you who aren't really into facebook. So here goes.

I can't believe Adaleigh is turning 4 in a 11 days! It seems like just yesterday I was starting her baby blog, and now there's a new baby in the house, Aubriella, who's already 4 and a half months old!! Kids grow so fast. It reminds of that Kenny Chesney song, "Don't Blink. You just might miss your babies growing like mine did." I seriously feel like I might miss so much in the blink of an eye, and especially now that I'm working again. Blogging is hopefully going to help me capture the special moments again.

I'm so thankful that I was able to go back to Starbucks part-time though. I really loved working there a couple years ago. I love it even more now because everyone I work with is awesome, including the new store manager.

In most recent news, we had a fun Halloween a couple weeks ago. I'm kinda glad that Alex and I have come to terms with Halloween as being a holiday. Originally, we didn't want anything to do with it when we had kids because all the evil that revolves around it, but I think we realized that we can still enjoy it and have fun with it while keeping it centered around good, clean, family fun. So we all participated this year...

I dressed up like an 80s girl, kinda Cyndi Lauper style. Alex was Alan from The Hangover (best costume ever). Adaleigh was Strawberry Shortcake. And little Aubriella was a Cow. :)

We also had a fun time at a couple pumpkin patches this year. We tried out a new one that's actually closer to our house, and Adaleigh really loved the hay ride. She was happy that her Auntie Tiffany was able to come with us, too!

Next year, we're going to do the corn maze with her. Can't wait!

Well, I'm excited to start blogging again and updating you all on our growing family. I hope you all check back soon for another update.

Love,

Brittany
