I feel like only yesterday I was bringing Rebekah home from the hospital. All snuggly and sweet. A tiny little thing with big blue eyes. After a pregnancy that was more difficult than I had felt I deserved I was bringing home a blessing.
What a wonderful baby she was. Never sleeping through the night. Nursing like it was going out of style. Teething forever! An exploding diaper downtown when I had no change of clothes for her. Despite all that, she's always been the most loving sweet girl! Her smile will light up a room. I'm truly worried about boys when she gets old enough to date and be interested in them.

We decided on a Fancy Nancy birthday party for her fourth birthday. She doesn't say "Fancy Nancy" she calls them "hancy fancy" We invited a few friends and cousins to her party. I wanted her to have a fun memory of her Utah friends before we move. We had the girls wear dress up oufits and then we decorated special Fancy Nancy Spa eye masks filled with rice and lavendar. I decided that instead of making and decorating a cake I'd just make cupcakes and frosting and let the girls decorate them. They loved it and it gave me an extra half hour of not having to plan something else! I thought I was genius!

What was I thinking?!? 8 little girls under 8 all hopped up on the beautiful pinkalicious frosting and too many sprinkles! Screaming, yelling having a blast. While I went "WHOA! yeah I don't like this many people in my house!"
