My goodness! Where does the time go. Sophia turned four today. It is so hard to believe. Over the past few months she has really starting to look forward to special events. She could not wait for her party. We had such a fun-filled day. It started with our tradition of a cupcake and balloon being delivered to her first thing in the morning. She also opened her gift from China. This gift from her birth county hopefully serves as a symbol that her roots are important to her and us and will never be forgotten. This year's gift was a puzzle of China.We then had a party at the music school where Sophia takes lessons. This was her first birthday party which she celebrated with her friends. She loved every minute of the party. She loved all the attention, games, songs, dancing, cake and presents. 
Baba saved the day with checking on the cake order on Saturday. It is a good thing because they never had record of us ordering her Thomas the Tank Engine cake. She loves Thomas and had picked out Thomas favors and we made a Thomas craft project. She could not wait for her special cake. I can not imagine going to pick it up only to find out they lost the order. Baba went to another store and they rushed the order for us. They had the cake ready Sunday morning. What a great Dad!!! He saved the day.
We celebrated with Grandma Beadle, Grandma Bev and Pop Pop Skip. We all went out for dinner and then came back for more cake and presents.Needless to say at the end of the night Sophia was all partied out.
