Paige was supposed to have a birthday party today, but half our relatives were sick. So since we have a 3 day old we decided to play it safe and reschedule. PLUS I woke up sick anyway, so the few healthy people who would have come would been exposed to MY germs. We didn't want Paige to be sad, so we just kept the jump house we'd reserved, and she got to play in it for a few hours.
She was really excited. A few people who had already been sick and gotten over it stopped by, since they weren't still contagious and wouldn't get Neely sick, and they'd already had it so didn't have to worry about me getting them sick. So she had a couple of cousins to jump with, and Jess ran out for a store bought cake at the last minute. So she still thinks she had a party. Ha.
We let her open a few gifts, including this one from Chris and Sarah. We woke her up with it, and she LOVED it. It was a My Little Pony that came with a movie, and it started her day off right. :)
Then she got the usual phone call from Grama, which also pleased her.
While all this was going on, Cason read his new favorite book, Go Dog Go, to Neely. It was really sweet.
Paige, happy birthday. I can't even come up with anything to say that will do you justice. You're SUCH a cool girl. So smart and curious, and you love to learn, asking questions about everything. You can be pretty nosy actually, not letting us have a conversation unless you can hear every word of it too. Ha.You're still so caring and thoughtful, and nurturing with your siblings. You're also the girliest little person ever.
You are so intense, no matter what you're feeling, it's obvious. Thankfully what you usually feel is happiness and love.
As you like to remind me, you were my "1st baby". You changed us, and I can't believe how much you've blessed our lives. We can't get enough of you, and love you more than you know.
Now I'll post some pictures that will make me happysad.

Aww...Those pictures make me happy/sad too. She is SO beautimous and I can't believe she's already 4! Time FLIES. :(
Happy Birthday Paige!!! I love you!
Happy Birthday Paige! You are such a lovely little lady!
Happy Birthday Paige! You are adorable!
I LOVE her. She needs to stop growing up. Her face is the same, a little less baby chubbs =), but she looks like a little girl now, not a baby--sad and awesome, huh? I can picture her face behind her MLP (My Little Pony)--same huge smile, little shy/embarrased, like when she got to meet the princesses at Disneyland. It's like she has to protect us from the arc-of-the-covenant-like power of her cuteness. No one can handle direct exposure. Wish we could be there more often. . . =(
P.S. Rent another jump house at Christmas for the grown ups. And invite Uncle Chuck.
She is gorgeous INSIDE and OUT! We LOVE YOU, Paige.
She IS rather wonderful.
