4!

Helena turned 4 on October 4th....oh my, I can't believe she's this old already!  We had a really fun day starting with peanut butter pancakes and then a trip to the Jump and Bounce.  Then we had a tee ball game followed by pizza, presents, and cake.

Helena posing with her requested Hello Kitty cake and her beloved cars.  (Maybe we should have made a car cake?!?)

There may have been some clandestine frosting licking....

Grandpa Larry, Grandma Teresa, Great Grandma Millie, Great Grandpa Bill, Great Aunt Jodie, Great Uncle Terry and cousin Matt were all on hand to celebrate with us.  Helena (and Harper) so enjoyed having family around to celebrate the special day.

Everyone...except Ash.  Thanks for taking the picture, honey!

Us explaining to Helena that she has to make a wish....

Me and Harper at Jump & Bounce....I'm not going to lie, that place makes me tired...and sweaty.  (Thanks for the pic, Aunt Jodie!)

Playing with her new marble maze. :)

Playing with Harper in the yard...

Stuffing her face with cake after tee ball.  "Best cake she had ever eaten..." she said.  I'll take that. :)
We're so lucky to have such a smart, sweet, hilarious daughter.  We love you so much, Helena.  Happy Birthday!!
