I remember the day she was born....

My sweet little Sophie is turning 4!!!! She had a little birthday party at Activity World. This is basically a big warehouse type building with a jungle gym fun house filling it...there were 20 little kids there from ISE families as well as Sophie's Preschool and their parents. We had Cake, Ice Cream, and too much fun!!!! I cannot believe she is getting so old...it seems like just yesterday i was hiding in a closet at the Illinois Teen Institute, being trained for my Snowball Director position...(no phones allowed)....and Granny called to tell me Sophie had been born. I don't think i was home for more than a few hours when i arrived at the hospital to hold the little bundle of joy. And then the past 4 years full of playing, babysitting, and watching her grow have been some of the most memorable. If she only knew how anxiously I awaited her arrival...especially when we had many false alarms where i ended up spending the night with her big sister Brittney.


Her birthday sign at Activity World...

She refused to wait to open gifts in the birthday room, and it only took her about 3 minutes to tear into all of them.

My Little Pony....AKA....My Little Chicken according to Kevin

ignoring the other children and admiring her gifts

this is why i call her the Sophinator....which she doesn't like but i do it anyhow

She is like her mom a bit too much....loving he chocolate

some of her preschool mates

Blake, Kayla, Brittney, and Kylie preparing to indulge in CAKE

the whole gang....a little off centered, but it is hard to get 4 year olds to do what you ask

Max, a preschool mate, Sophie Ann and Drake....enjoying the blowers

the rest of the troops

Kevin...sporting a stylish Birthday Hat

Sophie loving the Blower....she is too cute for words despite the attitude and lack of obedience...

I love this wee one
