I can hardly believe she is 4 already! She loves flowers and pretty things and dancing around the kitchen...
And playing with her preschool friends,
and spending her birthday with her Grandma and Grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins. My camera had died during this trip, so all these pictures of that day are courtesy of my mom (Thanks!!). Since her birthday falls around or on Thanksgiving every year, we often get to spend it with some extended family. Thank goodness she loves it.
So that day, we went to my sister (Megan)'s ward in Lehi and then went to her apartment to have lunch before heading home to Idaho. We all had what Krysta had requested from her grandmother to eat for lunch: meat and cheese sandwiches, carrot sticks, chips, and cake with pink frosting.
Her grandma Linda made this cake just for her, and she was so excited by it, the pink frosting, her name on it, and the pretty blue flowers.
Grandma and Grandpa also gave her a book and a pretty new dress-up dress.
She loves getting cards...
Here she is, wearing her new dress-up dress and giving her Grandma a big thank you hug. I love these pictures. And I like the look on her daddy's face in the bottom one.
We came home and celebrated her birthday with just our family the next day, but due to the broken camera, we have no pictures of it. It was so much fun. I love four year-olds, they are so cute.
Krysta, we love having you in our family. Your sweet and innocent manner endears you to everyone around you. I love your questions, and the amazing things you can think up and tell me about. I love spending everyday with you and being able to teach your preschool sometimes. I am amazed at how brave you are, especially this past year with all the medical tests and surgery. You are so patient and accepting of it all. I love that just holding my hand through it is enough for you to be able to handle anything. I am so grateful for all that you teach me about faith, love, and acceptance. Happy fourth birthday Krysta!
