I don't know how 4 years have passed already since our family gained a precious little girl named Cora Beth, but that is what we celebrated last weekend -- her 4th birthday.
So when your daughter is born in the dead of summer, you look for the coolest way possible to celebrate...which means POOL PARTY!
We celebrated at her Nonna's house in Lexington since they have a pool. The party began at 6pm so the temps had cooled down considerably, and it was very overcast. So overcast, in fact, that the sky dumped a fairly big thunderstorm on us before it was all said and done. It's okay, though, because by that point, most everyone was out of the pool anyway, eating cake and watching the birthday girl open her presents.
It was a good time and she racked up, as usual...
Okay, so let me just pause here for a minute. Cora Beth is now to the age where she can tell you what kind of party she would like to have to celebrate her birthday. And bless their hearts, my brother & sister-in-law asked her what she wanted. And then had to scramble to make it happen. She wanted a "pink tool pool party".
Uuuhhhm, okay.
:: whispering :: How are we gonna do THAT??
Okay, okay. I've got it -- we'll have it at my mom's house, right? Cuz she has a pool. So there's that part done. And, and...we can get her a new pink bathing suit, huh? That can be the pink part. So now...the tools. Hmmm. What if I just make a cake and we stick some plastic tools on the top? How 'bout that?
Sounds good to me.
Oh, and then your awesome sister can find a cute little tool set to give her as a gift! She is the best aunt! :)
We love you, Cora Beth! Happy 4th birthday to you!
