Four Year Old Fun

Yesterday was sweet Ruby's fourth birthday party. Woo hoo! Turning four is fabulous as we were reminded of as we opened the door to a little blonde haired girl in Disney princess plastic roller skates (you remember those skates you wear with shoes on with the adjustable bar along the bottom). The little kid party had a Candyland theme, which Chrissie (Ruby's mom) did an incredible job with! I was very, very impressed. It was such a cute idea that perhaps I've tucked it away for one day in the future.

After seeing the piles of gifts upon our arrival (after the kid party mayhem), I was more than a bit worried that our gift would win the Most Forgotten award. Of course you've all guessed by now that we got her clothes. Truth be told, I cannot walk past the little girls clothes in Target with a birthday approaching and not buy something. However, I was pleasantly surprised with Ruby's reaction. The card was a total hit--a jungle theme with a sticker sheet! Big fun! She passed out a sticker to everyone right away. Then she pulled out the first article of clothing from the Dora (another point for the Links!) gift bag and immediately put on those adorable heart leggings. After pulling out everything else, the Ruby stripped down to her birthday suit and proceeded to put on another new outfit. Yay! Success! What a relief.
