Happy Birthday Ariana!

My sweet little Ariana Joy turned 4 yesterday! She announced her day by coming into my room while I was still asleep and saying, "The birthday girl is here!" with her arms stretched out and a huge smile on her face! Ariana is the sunshine that gets me through the day! She tells me, at least, once day that she loves me. She often compliments me on my shirt, my jewelry, my shoes, pretty much anything! She gets so excited when I do things for her! For example, when I wash and fold her laundry she says something like, "Thanks for washing my clothes for me!! You're the best!" Ariana loves to sing! Her favorite songs are Hannah Had the Hiccups and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! She loves to make up her own songs too!   

Ariana couldn't decide what kind of cake she wanted! She changed her mind a thousand times and I finally decided on a pony cake. It was a hit! She loved it!

Ari is the best present opener! She gets so very excited about each thing. She hugs it and loves whatever it is! She was very specific this year about what she wanted. One thing was pink shorts! She loves to wear all one color so she needs those shorts so she can wear pink shorts, pink shirt, pink necklace, and pick panties!! Grandma Mary came through for her and found the perfect ones! Boy was she excited!!! Her face says it all! Grandma Mary and Grandpa John also gave her the Dora Lego set she wanted, cool Dora panties and much needed socks! Thank you!

Grandma Sylvia and Grandpa Buzz sent her some awesome flip flops that she hasn't taken off!  They also gave she two cute outfits (one is the one she is wearing), a brush and some hair elastics! Thanks so much!!

Ari loves having her birthday is July because she always gets a party with so many friends! This year both her bestest friends were at her party!! All her Utah aunts and uncles made it too! We missed a picture with Jason and Jaime! Sorry guys!

Today we had a fashion show and Ariana tried on her new clothes and danced around in them! 

Gotta love those modeling skills! Britain is behind me trying to show her how to do it!

Jason and Jaime gave her these two outfits! So cute Jaime!!

Aside from the pink shorts there was a color theme going on. Even the sunglasses she got matched!
 

She also got a bunny Littlest Pet Shop that she loves, a jewelry set, Diego bubbles, ring pops, a cup that looks like a ice cream cone, candy and chips! Thanks to everyone for the gifts and for coming! It was, "the BEST day ever!!"
