Hattie's 4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Hattie's 4th birthday this morning with a dozen or so of her closest friends. Little Hattie maintains her aversion to all things "boy-ish," and so this was most definitely a girl party with a dress up theme. 

Kate and Clara setup the playroom the night before with a clothing rack upon which they hung the many costumes we keep in stock. 

Hattie and Clara were all anticipation all morning before the guests arrived. They helped setup the donuts and set the birthday table. 

Both kept peaking out the window for a full 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Eager hostesses.

The party came and did not disappoint.

The highlight being, of course, singing happy birthday with Hattie's bday donut.

Matching Christmas Dresses from Ms. Carole

The girls are huge fans of their Christmas dresses, a tailor-made gift from the wonderful Ms. Carole.

Hattie is 4!

Free from three, now Hattie is four! The celebration started the day before as Hattie was special helper at Arts Together. She brought M&M cookies for treat and a little dog in a bag for show and tell.

The morning of her birthday, Hattie came down stairs dressed and ready and for presents. She was beyond pleased with the large unicorn waiting for her (compliments of Ga and Pappaw). She named it Uni, then Hearts Alot, then Toots Alot...as is common with Hattie, there might never be a permanent name for this stuffed animal.

Breakfast was chocolate chip pancakes done up with four candles for the first singing of Happy Birthday.

Hattie picked a Chocolate Chip Cookie Birthday cake for the family celebration that evening and had no problems blowing out the candles.
