Wow! My little girl turned 4 years old today! Since we weren't allowed to have her party or anything to do with her birthday today, all we did was weigh and measure her for posterity and take her birthday picture. Oh...and fixed "birthday" pancakes that everyone BUT Ivy ate. She wanted Cheerios. They weren't anything fancy, just regular pancakes...perhaps if I put whipped cream and chocolate chips on them she might have wanted them instead...but would that have counted as celebrating? We were prohibited (seriously) from birthday festivities because Kim is flying home this Saturday and she is tired of missing all of Ivy's birthdays since she is in the Army. In fact this is the first time she'll be home for Ivy's birthday. I know it hurts Kim to be so far away from her Peanut and Potato (her nicknames for Ivy and Riley...don't ask me where she got them!) and to miss their pre/school years, but we are so very proud of her for serving her country! I do believe that is the best present Ivy will get on Sunday...her auntie home for her birthday party!
What a turkey! She just learned to cross her eyes but I
managed to catch her between giggles about screwing up
the pictures! This was picture number 5!

Also on a side note...it is a momentous occasion...I finally finished the 2005 Disneyland scrapbook! I was hoping to have it finished by the time Kim gets here and I did it! Yippee! And with a day to spare! Phew!
