when it's your birthday...

Your presents await you first thing in the morning
(it's like your own little Christmas morning!)


...with a side of bedhead...

You get to listen to your favorite song on a continuous loop in the car (I like the song too, but come on...)
You get to have your favorite meal...on the red plate
(chicken salad sandwich & pink heart cookie)


You get to dress like (and act like) a princess.

You get to enjoy the cake (or cupcake) of your choosing after a rousing version of "Happy Birthday" (seriously, could the youth of today come up with something new for this song...please!)
She had a good day!
And no, this is not just done for the little girl, everyone gets this same treatment on their special day (minus the crown!)

I love the idea of "birthday morning" -- so great.

That heart cookie she's eating sounds extra delish right now. Seriously.

Oh, and she and Faith have the same gymboree sweater. One of my faves!

Lauren in GA said...

She has great taste!! Michael Buble and Chicken Salad? She has wisdom and taste beyond her years. ☺

She is so adorable! Happy Birthday to your beautiful girl!

Maybe the crown should be used on everyones birthday. Im sure your boys would love wearing a princess crown while eating cake and icecream!!!

Happy Birthday to you!!

Looks like she had a great day. I love how you guys make the whole day about them they will remember that when they are older. I loved the stuff my mom did for our birthdays as well to make us feel special on that day.....

Jennie said...

She is Princess Birthday!

Will you make me a sandwich?

Jake said...

I agree...that sandwich looks way better than the crustless pb&j my kids insist upon.

She is one lucky princess!
