Next birthday!

I think Little Girl had the cutest birthday we've ever had around here. She knew what we meant when we told her "Happy Birthday!" in the morning when she got up. She had a smile on her face that said she knew it was her special day. All my older kids used to get bratty on their birthdays, and she tried that a little bit that day, although she tries that a little bit every day! She was so excited to blow out the candles, she was bouncing up and down in her seat, and L. put his hand out to keep her from blowing out the candles before we finished the song! She was so impatient, she just kept trying. Then she clapped, and cheered for herself, when the candles went out. That kind of exuberance is catching! So fun! She loves to be the center of attention, and the little karaoke machine was a hit. Big Girl enjoys singing karaoke, too. Adorableness reigned!

She knew what was going on, and started trying to blow out the candles before they were even set in front of her.

We were still singing, and she was trying really hard to blow out the candles... 

Finally!

She was so thrilled with herself!

"It's not my birthday..."

She knows how to unwrap gifts!

She got karaoke for her birthday!

It's great to have fans...

Even better when they sing with you...

"A shiny, spinning pinwheel is all I need..."

Big Girl bustin' a move...
