Birthday #3 (The ACTUAL One!)

SJ's actual 4th birthday was today. It was really like a regular Monday for everyone with school and work. SJ got to take her favorite book and a new toy to school and when she got there she made a crown, which she wore all day. That night we had her favorite dinner - mac-n-cheese, lit a candle in a left over cupcake and then suprised her with her new bike. (yes, it's a Princess bike!)

After this picture was taken she got on and we sent her on her way after reminding her how to use the pedals to stop. She had previously ridden a bike like this all around the toy store so we figured she'd be good to go. However, within about 10 feet she lost control, couldn't stop, lifted her feet from the pedals and nearly hit a parked car! She fell over and cried. Nathan and I laughed. Thankfully she got right back on and tried again - this time with more guidance from her Daddy. She then went for a long ride with him and had a great time!
