Happy Fourth Birthday to Super Froggy Girl!  She's had a wonderful day.  She woke up to all of us around her, holding a small birthday cake, singing "Happy Birthday."  She made her wish and blew out 4 candles plus 1 to grow on, all in one breath! 

We went to church, where she was happy to see her friends, especially her grandma Lala (who of course had a gift.  A stuffed kitty that meows and meows and meows.  And meows.  Remind me to thank her appropriately.)

On the way home, she decided she wanted hamburgers for lunch, so who were we to say No?  Came home and opened presents. Her present from Mama and Daddy was a toy Cinderella castle that we secretly had shipped from Disney World.  She and her siblings have been playing with it non-stop.

Dinner is "party food" and an insane cake ringed with KitKats and topped with M&Ms.  See picture.  She gets to choose the movie we watch.  I betcha it'll be Cinderella!
