Sydney's Donut Birthday Party

We celebrated Sydney's birthday at a local donut shop. The kids ate donut holes, decorated their own donuts and then ate more donut cake! And then we sent everyone home on a sugar high!! I think all of the kids had a great time.

Birthday Girl!
Working on holding up 4 fingers!

Decorating the donuts.

Just looking at that donut cake makes me sick to my stomach! Way too much sugar that day!

Sydney Turns 4!

Sydney turned 4 last week! She had several celebrations over a couple of days. This was her first birthday since coming home so we tried to make it extra special. Ashlyn & I brought up cookies to her school class. And then we had her birthday dinner at a local Chinese place. Sydney still does not want to eat Chinese food (except Ramen noodles but do not think that qualifies as Chinese food!!). But I'm hoping that over time she will start to love it as much as she does Mexican food.
Sydney has blessed our family. And we can not imagine our lives without her. We love you Sydney Hope!

I'm sure she is thinking "seriously Mommy-I just woke up"!

Can't get enough of this big smile!
