12.17.11

Today is your Uncle Ryan's birthday
You have said some funny stuff lately.
1. You stood up from the table and said in a sad voice, "I feel like Satan when I stand up."
2. You sat on my lap and said, "Can I sit a little closer to you?"
me: "you're sitting on my lap. Isn't that close enough."
you: "no"
3. When I put you to bed you asked, "What if Satan comes in our house? Will he come in our house?"
I spent the next 5 minutes explaining that the Spirit is in our home. And the Spirit and Heavenly Father protect our home.

12.12.11

Last night we were driving in the car. You were sitting in the front seat because we were driving to the Merrell's, 4 houses away from us. You put the visor down and said, "The moon is too bright." It wasn't the moon that was bright, it was the street light. hehe.

Your 4th Birthday and Party

On Friday the 9th it was your turn for your b-day party. It was at 10am. We invited church and school friends. You wanted a Cinderella party. I asked someone from church (a college girl) if she could come as Cinderella to your party. She was so excited and even told me she had a Cinderella costume so it was perfect.
The princess crown cake I made. It was just like Sydney's cake but with blue frosting.

You and Cinderella. So beautiful. You and your friends anticipated her arrival and when she came you guys got all quiet.

Cinderella sang you songs, read a book, and even painted everyone's faces. You picked a butterfly to be painted on your face.

You and your friends also made your own crowns to wear.
Then you wanted to paint Cinderella's face. She is such a nice princess.

You, Cinderella and your friends. This was your first birthday party and you loved all the attention. Also your primary teacher, Sis. Snodgrass came too.
Yesterday was your birthday and I made you pancakes, one looking like the number 4. You opened presents from family. They sang to you in primary and the Bishop gave you a big candy bar. Your birthday dinner was salmon. When you talked to Gammie you said, "sing me the birthday song." When she asked if you made a wish when you blew out the candles you said, "I wished that you will be my friend forever." We love you Jordyn; you are so loved. We should have named you Joy, because you bring so much joy to our lives.
