Story is 4!

On Saturday, May 10, our Story girl turned FOUR!  I can hardly believe she is so big now.  

It was such a treat to have her party fall on her actual birthday!  That morning we let her open her presents from T.  Her favorite were the Ariel flip flops and matching pajamas.  

We had Story's party at McDonald's playground.  I remember having parties and MCD when I was little, so I thought it was so much fun to have hers there, too.  She was embarrassed!  Story is very particular about things, and she does not like to have attention drawn to her at all.  She was so worried that people who were eating there were going to see her party!  Once she got there, the embarrassment wore off, ha! 

When Story was little bitty, I would take a picture of her with her siblings every month.  It is amazing how much they have all changed in four years.  Whew!  

Story's friends from church and preschool came to help her celebrate her special day.  Papa and Gigi were there, too!  

Keeping with tradition, I interviewed Story about some of her favorite things:
