Halloween and Jenna's 4th Birthday!

We have been very busy with lots of fun events!  We went to the annual Willardson halloween party at Curt and Gayle's house and dressed up as Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Wendy, and Tinkerbell.  It was a lot of fun!  I made my, Jenna's and Ivy's costume which was fun and something new for me! Jenna's hair has natural ringlets which made her a perfect Wendy.  I was in charge of the joy school halloween party which was fun.  We had Jenna's first birthday party with friends two days later.  Then that night we had a family party with the Hughes clan.  And on her actual birthday we were in San Diego and went to Sea World!  Andrew was participating in the "Tough Mudder" event there the next day with a bunch of his cousins.  They had a lot of fun! Andrew worked really hard to prepare for it. We are very proud of all of them!
Four things I love about Jenna at four years old:
1.  She is very sweet, understanding, loving, and thoughtful towards us.
2.  She has a wonderful imagination! It is really fun to listen to the things she comes up with while playing.
3.  She like to "tell stories together" She leads us in making up progressive stories together.  We each take a turn telling part of the story. We do this during almost every car ride we go on.
4.  She can make Ivy laugh more often and more easily than anyone else, and is a very helpful big sister.

Jenna's Friend Party. Butterfly and flower themed. They made butterflies out of construction paper, t.p. rolls, and stickers.  They also colored a butterfly coloring page and collected nature items outside in color coordinating egg cartons. :)

Jenna wanted flower cupcakes that were red inside, had green frosting for grass, pink petals, and blue centers. Tadaa!

I just put this pic in just because I love it. :)
