Keira's 4th Birthday!

 Keira's birthday fell on a Saturday this year, which made it extra special because Nana, Aunt Laura, and Uncle Jonathan got to come down and celebrate with us!

This is what 4 years old looks like!

The birthday girl woke up to a bouquet of balloons outside her door!

Ella stopped by to wish her best friend a happy birthday and to give her this special photo book!

Thanks, Ella & Mackenzie!

To celebrate our special 4-year-old, we packed up a picnic and went to Lake Poway!

Keira got to enjoy lots of activities, like playing soccer, flying a kite, boating, eating ice cream, and hiking! She had the best time!!

Back home in the evening, it was time for the next part of the birthday celebration: cake & presents!!

Shielding the candles from the wind!

So cute!

This cake was her special request: yellow cake with strawberry frosting.

We baked it & decorated it together.

Yum!

Time for presents!

Excited about the princess ball
(the one she discovered unwrapped in my closet earlier that week--oops!)

Thanks, Nana, for the special card & presents!

A new princess scooter from Nana--WOW!!

The next morning was Father's Day (hence the tie) and Keira helped Daddy put together her new scooter.

First Father's Day with TWO daughters!

In the afternoon, we spent some time exploring Old Town.

Trying on the hats, which we discovered afterward was not allowed--oops!
